With chances of Mumbai Indians making it to the finals of the Indian Premier League (IPL) looking bright, the traffic wing of the Navi Mumbai police is gearing up to handle a lot of crowd and traffic on April 25, the day final match will be played at the DY Patil stadium in Nerul.
"If Mumbai Indians make it to the finals, we would definitely have a huge number of people coming here to witness the match. The bandobast and the security for the finals will be different from what we had during the other IPL matches. We will be reshuffling the staff. The deployment of police personnel for the final match will be more then. Special attention will be given to the parking system. The Amra Marg near the service road, which has so far not been used for parking will be put to use this time. Special spots have also been identified wherein more security will be provided. However, the decision on the security measures to be adopted for the final match will be taken soon," ACP (Traffic) Shrikant Dhivare said.
Additional force from State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) would also be pressed into service at the stadium during the match. Police personnel would be deployed at all the entry and exit points, apart from armed, unarmed personnel along with those in uniform and civil dress, at all the strategic points all over the stadium. Police officials will keep a tab on the situation with the help of close circuit television cameras installed all over the stadium, confirmed an official from traffic department.
