To further closely monitor the action in the stands, up to 360 CCTV cameras have been placed inside and outside the stadium. The authorities have also planned up to 18 parking sites for both two- and four-wheelers with the spectators in mind. Additionally, the usage of the metro has been promoted to citizens as a way to avoid parking shortages and traffic congestion.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is set up and ready to host their opening match of the ODI World Cup 2023 with the plans in mind. The stadium can accommodate about 39,000 people.
Hyderabad becomes a heightened security area prior to Pakistan’s ODI World Cup opening match.
Prior to the match between Pakistan and the Netherlands, a number of security precautions have been employed. According to Indian Express, Rachakonda police commissioner D. S. Chauhan recently announced that a combined command and a control center have been set up on the south side of the site. These facilities will be utilized to monitor CCTV footage and aid in taking immediate action.
The commissioner further stated that only players would utilize Gate 1 of the stadium, and that only ticket holders would be permitted to enter the gates in accordance with their tickets. In case it becomes necessary, an evacuation plan has also been set up.
It may be intriguing to watch how the match plays out in Hyderabad and how Pakistan and the Netherlands perform against one another as they prepare to begin their ODI World Cup campaigns.
