Bomb disposal squad, 2 escort vehicles, 5 layer security will be deployed at all times to protect the Indian team. Apart from this, 10 thousand cameras will be monitored. The Indian team may face some difficulties on the tour to Pakistan, as there the Indian team will have to be confined to hotels and match venues. During this time, the bomb disposal squad will inspect the Islamabad Sports Complex every morning. Two escort vehicles will always accompany the Indian team during their tour. PTF International Tennis Federation General Secretary Colonel Gul Rahman has also said the same thing.

There will be 4 to 5 layers of security around the Indian team

Gul Rehman said, “The Indian team has come to Pakistan after 60 years, so we are taking extra precautions. There will be 4 to 5 layers of security around the Indian team. I will also be with the team during the tour as the security manager. An escort vehicle accompanies the team during the tour. The teams enter the hotel through the VVIP gate, which is reserved for heads of state.”

Around 10,000 cameras were installed in the city

Gul Rehman further said, “Bomb disposal squad will check the venue every morning and no one will be allowed to enter the venue. This process will continue throughout the match. Islamabad is one of the safest cities in Asia. As the general elections draw near, security is also tight. There is constant aerial surveillance, with around 10,000 cameras installed in the city. There will be no compromise on the security of Indian players."
