Security arrangements have been tightened during the ongoing HBL PSL 6 as a large number of spectators were not allowed to enter the National Stadium in Karachi without identity cards, despite having tickets.

According to the details, the security arrangements at Karachi’s National Stadium were further intensified in the match between Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans, yesterday. There was a ban on entry in the absence of a National Identity Card (NIC) or B Form, which is why a large number of spectators could not enter the stadium despite having tickets and returned home in a state of despair.

Despite having an accreditation card at the main entrance, identity cards were demanded from others, including journalists. The behavior of the security personnel was also strict and they didn’t seem willing to make concessions.

It has been clarified once again by the PCB that, without NIC, no one will be allowed to enter the stadium and identity cards must also be brought during the match at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
