We have a three-tier security system in place which will have six Superintendents of Police and 34 DSPs who will be looking after different zones allotted to them," Mohali's police chief GPS Bhullar said here.

Asking fans to cooperate with the police, he said strict security measures will be thrown into place to ensure everyone's safety.

The players have also expressed their satisfaction with the security arrangements.
