Traffic regulations and arrangements for the Indian Premier League (IPL), that begins this week, would be identical to arrangements put in place for the World Cup, the Mumbai Police Traffic Department said on Wednesday.
According to the traffic police, as the arrangements for the World Cup went off smoothly, the same measures would be put in place for the nine IPL matches to be played in Mumbai. The first IPL match in Mumbai will be played on April 15 when Mumbai Indians take on Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The last match is scheduled on May 25.
Like the World Cup, the IPL will also see large crowds and along with players’ security, it is important to maintain the smooth flow of traffic, Brijesh Singh, Additional Commissioner of Police (traffic) said.
“The World Cup traffic arrangements are tried and tested and they will be same for the IPL matches. We would have to make arrangements based on the fan following of the home team,” said Singh.
