Not willing to take any chances, Gujarat police have made robust security arrangements for the India-South Africa one-dayer to be played in Ahmedabad on Saturday police officials said.

Over 1000 police personnel, three teams of bomb disposal squads (BDS), specially trained commandos and four companies of State Reserve Police (SRP) have been deployed at the Sardar Patel Stadium at Motera and at the hotel where the players are staying, they said.

"Robust security is in place at the stadium and the players' hotel as a precautionary measure as we do not want to take any chances," joint commissioner of police (JCP) Satish Sharma told PTI.

"Over 1,000 police personnel including 134 officers, 400 policemen, 100 women constables, two companies of home guards including one of women team have been deployed for the match," Sharma said.

He said that two platoons of Chetak commandos, two BDS and dog squads have been deployed at the stadium.
