Karachi’s Additional Inspector General (AIG) of Special Branch, AIG Operations, and DIG Security were present during the meeting that included officials from law enforcement agencies as well. Additional security will be provided to the West Indies squad as Special Security Unit commandos and lady commandos along with officers from other forces will be deployed to provide security to the players.
