The embarrassing IPL decision of shifting the opening ceremony of the Indian Premier Leage 2010 away from Hyderabad to Mumbai, has, thankfully, jolted the Hyderabad police somewhat.
The DGP Girish Kumar has spoken to Lalit Modi, Chairman & Commissioner of the IPL about the issue. He has assured Modi of complete security to the event, and has asked him to give the issue some thought, as it is a prestigious matter. Modi has reportedly said that he would get back to Girish Kumar.
Last year, the IPL was shifted to South Africa out of India following the Mumbai attacks, when the government had said it cannot assure security to the players.
