He also noted the effective coordination between district administrations, law enforcement agencies, and other relevant institutions, which has played a vital role in the smooth conduct of PSL events.
Specialised units, including Dolphin Squad, Police Response Unit, and Elite Force, will conduct targeted patrols around key routes, the stadium, and adjacent areas. In addition, continuous surveillance will be maintained through CCTV cameras at critical points, including team routes, stadium premises, and accommodation sites.
