Close
encounters of the extreme kind
Why Mohali could be a win-win
for both countries
 In
terms of excitement,
Chandigarh is considered as placid as the waters of Sukhna Lake. But
when a cricketing tsunami, in the form of an India-Pakistan World Cup
clash, strikes the city it cannot but be overwhelmed. More so, if the
occasion is also converted into a close encounter of the highest kind
with Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan planning to hold an informal
summit at the venue. Just for today, Chandigarh will become the centre
of our universe.
Get
beyond the fear factor
 The
occasion is piled high with
difficulty and you have to rise to the occasion. The biggest deterrent
to the top will be the weight of expectancy. Everyone, from a bellboy to
the man in Parliament has one thing to say - you can lose to anyone but
not to Pakistan! This is the match, they say, winning this is like a dip
in the Ganges.
Unmatched
security for a high-voltage thriller
Pulling out all the stops to
give security like never before, Punjab police deploys Special Weapons
and Tactics Team, hi-tech gadgets, sniffer dogs and a fleet of 3,500
cops convert the PCA into a fortress
Mohali, March 29
Leaving nothing to chance for
tomorrow’s World Cup cricket semifinal clash between India and
Pakistan at the PCA stadium here, Punjab Police today further
strengthened security around the stadium by rushing in an additional
1500 policemen, taking the total count of policemen to 3,500.
