Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi today made it clear that
Saturday's match between Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore Royal Challengers
will not be shifted from Jaipur in the wake of yesterday's blasts in the
Rajasthan capital.
"The next DLF Indian Premier League match scheduled in Jaipur is on
Saturday between Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore Royal Challengers and will be
played as per schedule," Modi said in a statement.
Modi also assured that there would be no compromise on security front for the
IPL matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
"Security for future matches will be heightened and no bags will be allowed
in the stadium," he said.
Modi also took the opportunity to condemn the serial blasts that ripped across
Jaipur claiming more than 60 lives.
"I whole-heartedly condemn the reprehensible acts of terrorism which have
claimed the lives of many innocent people," Modi said.
"Terrorists have no religion and whoever is behind these blasts should
be hunted down and meted out exemplary punishment," he said.
