The security arrangements were discussed during the late-night crucial meeting, chaired by IG Islamabad Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, and was attended by senior officials from Islamabad and Punjab police.

As per details, a foolproof security plan has been prepared for the security of the route and stadium through the deployment of special squads.
