Extensive Security Measures Implemented for India-Brazil Football Match in Kolkata
Ahead of the India-Brazil football match at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium, authorities have implemented extensive security measures including deployment of around 2,000 police personnel and 400 volunteers. Spectators will undergo three-tier security checks with digital ticket verification, and prohibited items include narcotics, firecrackers, lighters, alcohol, and food or water bottles. These precautions aim to ensure safety and prevent incidents similar to last year's chaos during Lionel Messi's visit. Traffic and crowd management plans are also in place.
