Ahmedabad: As the city gears up to host the ICC Cricket World Cup matches, the Gujarat Cricket Association in order to enhance the audience safety, have established six medical kiosks equipped with mini ICUs inside the Narendra Modi Stadium to address any potential emergencies.

Furthermore, a substantial security contingent, consisting of 3000 police personnel and 600 private security members, will oversee both the stadium and its surroundings during the opening World Cup match between England and New Zealand.

In a compassionate gesture, the England-New Zealand game will reserve special seating for 20 terminally ill children suffering from cancer. An NGO’s request was promptly approved by BCCI secretary Jay Shah, and these children will be accompanied by their doctors in a designated area to ensure their safety.

Notably, the Motera Stadium will accommodate a whopping 132,000 spectators during the high-stakes India vs. Pakistan game on October 14. For this showdown, the number of security personnel will increase to over 800 private security personnel and more than 4,000 police officers.

In terms of safety measures, the world’s largest cricket stadium has implemented a quick evacuation policy. The venue is equipped with two ramps that can accommodate 80 people simultaneously, enabling the crowd to evacuate within half an hour. DeshGujarat
