New Delhi : Added security cover is being provided at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here Sunday ahead of a key Commonwealth Games hockey match between India and Pakistan for which a number of VIPs are expected, a Delhi Police official said.
“With India playing against Pakistan, it will be a crucial match with all the tickets being sold out. It being a weekend we are expecting a packed stadium, so security has been tightened and strict vigil will be kept,” a senior police official said.
The match will begin at 7 p.m. at the stadium.
He said that many ministers and embassy officials are expected to come to see the game. “So added security arrangements are being made,” the officer added.
