Mullanpur (Punjab), May 28: The Qualifier 1 and Eliminator of the ongoing Indian Premier League is unlikely to be impacted due to security reasons in the aftermath of the recent conflict between India and Pakistan following the barbaric Pahalgam attack, the Punjab Police said on Wednesday.

The IPL schedule had to be tinkered with after the tournament was suspended for a week following the military conflict between India and Pakistan. According to the revised schedule, Mullanpur will host the qualifier 1 on Thursday and the eliminator on Friday, while the qualifier 2 and the final will be held in Ahmedabad on June 1 and 3.

"There are two very important matches at Mullanpur stadium tomorrow and day after tomorrow. There is a qualifier and an eliminator. People are coming from all corners of India. There is a lot of enthusiasm among the people," Arpit Shukla, Special DGP (Law and Order), Punjab said. "We have arranged for extensive security around the stadium and its periphery. Today, there is a review of it. Our police force is deployed around 65 Gazetted officers and more than 2,500 is deployed.

"We will ensure that those who are coming do not face any kind of trouble. On the other hand, the security measures will be very strict. Yesterday, we had a rehearsal of the mockdrill. Today also the police force is rehearsing the mockdrill," he added.
