Indian security team arrives
KARACHI, Dec 26: A five-member inspection team from India arrived in Pakistan on Sunday to finalise security arrangements for their cricket tour which starts next month.
“This is a security inspection team and we are here to visit all the proposed match venues to review arrangements,” Yashvardhan Azad, a senior police officer with the Indian government said.
“We have been sent here to also talk about the itinerary given by the Pakistan board. We will be meeting with senior police officials of Faisalabad, Multan and Lahore,” he said.
Although the Indian government has approved the tour in principle, Azad said the inspection team would visit venues and meet with Pakistan government officials in order to satisfy themselves with the security and other arrangements.—Reuters
