New Delhi, Feb 15 (PTI) The Centre has decided to review the security arrangements for four major sporting events, including the Commonwealth Games, to be held in India this year in wake of the Pune blast, the first major terror attack in the country in 14 months.
The decision to review the already elaborate security arrangements for the World Cup Hockey beginning February 28, the Commonwealth Games, besides the Indian Premier League was taken as a result of the blast in the German Bakery in Pune's posh Koregaon Park, which killed nine people.
Home Ministry sources said the main concern is over World Hockey Championship as any terror incident in the run up to the event may lead to withdrawal of participating nations.
Home Secretary Gopal K Pillai said the government has put in place a very elaborate arrangement for the tournament.
