With a view to ensure foolproof arrangements in the wake of upcoming match between Punjab Kings and Gujarat Titans on March 31st as part of the Indian Premier League (IPL) - 2026, the newly elected Secretary of the PCA Lok Sabha MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer and Vice President PCA Deepak Bali visited the Cricket stadium at Mullanpur in New Chandigarh today.
The dignitaries accompanied by the Deputy Commissioner, Mohali Komal Mittal and SSP Harmandeep Singh Hans took stock of various seating blocks as well as the stadium, approach routes to the stadium, parking facilities, security measures, and deliberated in great length upon the significant issue of crowd management in order to make sure that the people get a hassle free and wholesame cricketing experience.
Emphasizing upon ensuring top notch arrangements in every aspect, Meet Hayer outlined that the smooth conduct of the matches goes a long way in earning a great name for Punjab as the host of important fixtures which can lead to the state being allotted prestigious tournaments in future too. He also made a special mention of Punjab being selected as the host of the Asian Champions Trophy Hockey tournament later this year.
Advocating for the absolute coordination between the Civil and Police administration, the Vice President PCA Deepak Bali said that apart from the fixture on March 31st, as many as 3 more matches are scheduled to be held at the stadium which is a matter of pride for the Punjab Government.
The stadium is emerging on world map as a hub of prestigious tournaments with the passage of time, added Deepak Bali.
