Ahmedabad: City police have imposed a ban on carrying more than three IPL tickets in an effort to combat the black market for Indian Premier League tickets.

The measure, announced by Police Commissioner Premveer Singh in a recent notification, comes in response to the high demand for tickets for the upcoming cricket final at Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday.

According to the notification, individuals caught selling tickets above the printed rates will be charged under the Gujarat Police Act. Similarly, those found in possession of more than three tickets will face consequences.

While some cricket enthusiasts perceive the measure as stringent, others support it, anticipating that it will discourage black market activities and their perpetrators. DeshGujarat
