IPL in danger

The Centre on Friday rejected the revised schedule of the mega event (Indian Premier League, IPL) , saying it was not feasible to hold the matches as all states, except Tamil Nadu, have either refused to provide security on match days or made their nod conditional on large numbers of central forces being made available to them, to which the Centre has said no. Although the home ministry kept hopes alive by advising the organizers to work out a fresh schedule, and the IPL organising committee taking up the task, it now seems rather difficult to rejig the dates so as to take care of each and every state’s security concerns at this late stage. A communication was sent to the IPL after Union home minister P Chidambaram and home secretary Madhukar Gupta took stock of the states’ response to the revised schedule on Friday. State officials remained in touch with the ministry all day. IPL commissioner Lalit Modi refused to comment on the sudden development. The IPL organizing committee was locked in a late night meeting, apparently to work round-theclock on a re-revised schedule.

I am hopeful for this to happen, ALL THE BEST TO THE ORGANIZERS. World is waiting for the event.
