JAIPUR: The police will supervise security arrangements during the seven IPL matches to be played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur from this month. A meeting was held at the secretariat building on Friday to discuss the security arrangements.
The meeting was attended by senior home department officers, RCA officials, police and other administration officers.
Seven matches which will be played. The are Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils (April 12), Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders (April 15), Rajasthan Royals and Kochi Tuskers (April 24), Rajasthan Royals and Pune Warriors (May 1), Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings (May 9) and Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore (May 11).
Sources said that RCA administration was not in favor of police security and wanted to make its own arrangements, but the home department has clearly instructed the state's cricket body to have police security.
The issue of RCA not paying for police security is being taken up during meetings being held for the matches since Thursday.
The RCA has not paid to the police for providing security at many ILL matches and a one-day match played at the Saw Mannish Stadium in the past.
The cricket matches are constantly under terror threats across the country following which the police department in Jailer doesn't want to take any chances.
