Raipur . Chhattisgarh Cricket Association (CSCS) has intensified preparations for the T-20 match between India and New Zealand to be held on January 23 at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium. This time, keeping in mind the convenience and safety of the spectators, major changes are being made in the entry system of the stadium. Taking lessons

from the chaos and protest of spectators during the ODI match held in December, the Cricket Association has decided that the entry and exit timings at more than half a dozen gates will be fixed in advance for the T-20 match. Its purpose is to control the crowd and avoid chaos.It's worth noting that a large number of spectators arrived at the stadium late in the evening during the ODI match. Several gates were closed after the seats were filled, leading to angry protests and, in some instances, breaking down gates to gain entry. Spectators claimed they were denied entry despite having expensive tickets. The Cricket Association claims that such a situation will not recur during the T20 match.

Members of the Cricket Association will be stationed at every gate.
Negligence by private security guards was also blamed for the disruption in entry arrangements during the previous match. It's alleged that people without tickets were allowed inside, causing inconvenience to valid ticket holders. This time, the Cricket Association has decided to deploy its members at all entry gates. They will monitor the entry process and keep an eye on the security agency.

Late-arriving spectators will not be allowed entry.
Cricket Association Director Vijay Shah stated that spectators must enter the stadium through their designated gates at the designated time. Entry will be denied if they arrive after the scheduled time, and the responsibility lies with the spectators themselves. He added that frequent gate openings and closings impact security and order.

Help of police administration is also being taken
Cricket association is also taking help of police administration to strengthen the entry system. After reviewing the past mistakes, suggestions will be taken from the police regarding crowd control, security and movement. Based on these suggestions, this time the system will be made more effective.

Cricket association has reiterated that the timing of opening and closing of gates will be decided soon and made public. The aim is that the spectators do not face any kind of problem during the India-New Zealand T-20 match and the match can be enjoyed in a safe environment.
