Chandigarh Police issues advisory on Indo-Pak cricket match

CHANDIGARH: UT police has issued a detailed advisory containing do's and don'ts for members and managements of teams India and Pakistan to ICC and PCA authorities on Friday.

The advisory was issued by security wing of Chandigarh police and a copy of the advisory was also given to management of Hotel Taj Sector 17. Police sources said half a dozen routes from Hotel Taj Sector 17 to PCA stadium Mohali had been selected. One of these routes will finally be used.

SP (security) Hardeep Singh Doon said conditions of not leaving Hotel Taj-17 before prior information to cops at least four hours in advance, always being accompanied by security personnel, security checks and frisking were among specific points of the advisory.

He said in view of security perception, the specific route which would be used would be disclosed to staff members including bus drivers at the last moment. He said more than 1,000 police personnel led by DSP-rank officials had been deployed for security of both teams.

Police officers claimed if the do's and don'ts were violated, action would be recommended to ICC.

SP (security) HS Doon told TOI that recently, strict action was recommended against two players of cricket team of West Indies and members of the team management to ICC on March 10 as four of them violated the guidelines and left Hotel Taj Sector 17 without giving any prior information to police personnel deployed.

The Pakistan cricket team has arrived in the city and the team members were brought from Chandigarh airport to Hotel Taj Sector 17 under tight police security on Friday.
