Heavy security arrangements have been made for the Punjab Kings-Delhi Capitals match, scheduled to take place at the new Mullanpur stadium on March 23.

Special DGP of Punjab, Arpit Shukla, shared details about the tight security arrangements made by the Mohali police for the first game at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur. This comes ahead of Punjab Kings' first home game against Delhi.

"We have made ample security arrangements for the match. The Mohali SSP will ensure tight security cover. We will also ensure that the residents around the stadium don’t face any inconvenience and thus the traffic will be properly regulated,” Shukla said.

More than 2,000 cops will be deployed to enhance security, while parking at the  stadium will also be managed by the Mohali police. Additionally, the Mullanpur stadium, with a seating capacity of over 33,000, offers parking facilities for 7,000 cars. Special DGP Shukla also mentioned that several roads will be diverted once the final traffic route and plan are established.
