LAHORE: As a high-level sitting for the security of the Pakistan Super League’s final match remained inconclusive on Tuesday, the participants decided to meet again on Wednesday.

Chaired by Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the meeting discussed in detail the security rings to be provided around the Qadhafi Stadium, the venue of the game, and use of police and paramilitary forces for the purpose.

The participants agreed to continue their deliberations for another day.

As the Integrated Command and Control centre under the Safe City project has proved helpful in tracing Lahore blast suspects, the meeting decided to send centre’s staff abroad for further training.
