Ahmedabad Police Commissioner GS Malik said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will be among the prominent personalities expected to be present during the ICC Cricket World Cup final in the city's Motera area.

3 Thousand policemen will be deployed in the stadium

Police Commissioner Malik told the media that keeping in mind the movement of more than one lakh spectators in the stadium and the presence of many dignitaries, elaborate security arrangements have been made with the personnel of Gujarat Police, Rapid Action Force (RAF), Home Guards . Malik said, “To ensure that this historic match is completed without any problem, more than 6 thousand police personnel will be deployed for this. Out of these 6,000 personnel, about 3,000 will be deployed inside the stadium while the rest will be deployed for security at other key locations, such as hotels where players and other dignitaries will be staying.

There is special planning for security in the stadium

Malik said that one company of the RAF will be deployed inside the stadium while the other company will be deployed outside the stadium. He said the city police has set up a temporary command and control center equipped with wireless network inside the venue which will function even if the mobile network fails. Malik said four senior IPS officers of the rank of Inspector General and Deputy Inspector General and 23 Deputy Commissioners of Police will inspect and guide the personnel on the match day. Malik said he would be assisted by 39 assistant police commissioners and 92 police inspectors.

10 teams of bomb disposal squad deployed

National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) teams will also be deployed in the city to respond to any chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) emergency during the match, the Ahmedabad police chief said. He said 10 teams of 'Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad' as well as two teams of Chetak commandos, an elite unit, would be deployed near the stadium. When asked whether the police had received any information regarding the possible threat, Malik said the media should not highlight such threats issued by unknown persons based outside India. He said, “We are well prepared for any threat. Some people sitting in Canada or any other country just send a threatening email or share an audio or video of any threat and the media makes hype about it. I believe there is no need to pay attention to such things.”
