The Home Ministry has received a revised schedule from the Indian Premier League organisers on Tuesday. The high-profile event has run into trouble due to security concerns. A day after meeting between Home Ministry and IPL officials failed to break the deadlock on the schedule which coincides with the general elections, the organisers have re-worked the dates for the third time.

 

"We have received a new schedule from the IPL organisers today and have sent to states for their view," a Home Ministry spokesman said.

 

Desperate to get the cash-rich event on track, the IPL's top brass held a series of meetings since yesterday to fine-tune the schedule which has now taken into account the reservations and security constraints of the states hosting the matches. The Home Ministry had told the organisers that cosmetic changes in the fixture was not acceptable and they would have to finalise the dates in consultation with the state governments.
