Security beefed up in Guwahati

On November 5, a police officer in the rank of SP, will be in-charge of the security of the entire stadium. The district administration has prohibited crackers within 1km radius of the stadium. Joshi said although no specific security threat had been perceived for the players, the administration was leaving no stone unturned considering the sensitivity of the match and Pakistan playing for the first time here.

The police has listed certain items, including mobile phones, cameras, food packets and bottles, that will not be allowed into the stadium on match day.
