ICC World T20 league match between India and Pakistan to be held as scheduled in Dharamsala
The ICC World T20 league match between India and Pakistan will be held as scheduled in Dharamsala after the game was given a go ahead after a high level meeting between the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Himachal Pradesh state government officials and representatives from the BCCI . Tournament director MV Sridhar after meeting the officials at North block said, “The match is on. The state and central governments are onboard and all security arrangements have been made.” India will play against Pakistan on March 19 in Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. There has been some opposition in the state, including from ex-servicemen, on holding the match at the hill station. Sridhar, however, said discussions with Home Ministry officials remained inconclusive and a few issues are yet to be sorted out.

Sridhar, also General Manager of Cricket Operations of the BCCI, was accompanied by IPL anti-corruption and security unit head and former Delhi Police commissioner Neeraj Kumar and a few other BCCI officials. MK Singla, special secretary (internal security) said an official team of Pakistan had visited Dharamsala and has expressed satisfaction over the security arrangements in the stadium as well as hotels in the area.

Singla said Kangra District Magistrate and local Inspector General of Police assured full protection to players and the venue. A team of Pakistani officials arrived in India on Monday to review security arrangements for their team during the tournament.
