MOHALI: The India-Pakistan match to be held in Mohali in Punjab is keeping even the Delhi Police on its toes.

More people have been deployed at the city borders and we have also sought cooperation from the Uttar Pradesh police," said a senior police officer on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorised to speak to the media.The police are conducting searches in the guesthouses of areas like Paharganj and Karol Bagh. After the attack on Jama Masjid right before the Commonwealth Games last year, the police are not leaving anything to chance.The Taj Hotel in Chandigarh's Sector 17 has already been converted into a fortress with more than 1,000 security personnel manning the whole compound.The Indian National Security Guard too has sent its personnel to look into the security arrangements and to provide cover to the whole match.
