Security beefed up for Australia's second Test against India in Hyderabad following terrorist attack The scene of a blast at Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, India last week. THE Australian cricket team will have "unprecedented" security protection with 2000 police and five platoons of armed forces to stand guard in the second Test against India following the terrorist attack that shook the city. Australia's tour of India was plunged into uncertainty last week when at least 15 people were killed and 118 injured in twin bombings, just 8km from the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Cricket Australia security expert Frank Dimasi arrived in Hyderabad ahead of the second Test and is understood to be satisfied with security arrangements after high-level talks with local authorities. But Hyderabad police are taking no risks after the lessons of Lahore in 2009, when Sri Lankan players were lucky to escape alive after their team bus was stormed by terrorists brandishing rocket launchers and AK-47 rifles. Fans attending the second Test, starting Saturday, have been banned from bringing mobile phones and cameras into the ground. "We are going to have unprecedented security system for the upcoming Test match," said Hyderabad police commissioner D. Thirumal Rao. We will deploy an additional 250 men of the security wing, five platoons of armed forces and 1129 law-and-order police. About 270 traffic police will also be deployed at the roads to control traffic. City police have beefed-up security at the team hotel where the Australian and Indian cricket teams are staying. Such is the high-level of security, metal detectors have also been installed on each floor of the team hotel. "We have supervised and ensured foolproof security inside the hotel for the players," the commissioner said. We have increased surveillance of the hotel premises. In and around the stadium, a total of 60 CCTV cameras are being installed including at vehicle check points. A command and control room has also been established to monitor all the CC TV footage. Spectators have been directed not to carry bags, banners, mobile phones and cameras into the stadium. Parking will not be allowed on either side of the main road adjacent to the stadium.
