CAB Joint Secretary Samar Paul said that its important for the person to have administrative capabilities though that they must have some connection with the sporting
arena. We don’t want someone who feels like a fish out of water, trying to handle sports administration,” Paul said. He informed that the CEO will send reports of the day-to-day activities to the joint-secretaries.

Meanwhile, the Calcutta Police has objected to the Red Chillies Entertainment’s, the owners of the Kolkata Knight Riders, decision to have punching machines for the checking of tickets at the entrance gates of the Eden Gardens for the
IPL matches.

Commissioner of Police Goutam Mohan Chakraborty told the CAB president Prasun Mukherjee and representatives of the Red Chillies group on Monday that if a punching machine conks off in any of the gates, it can lead to a huge chaos.
“The Red Chillies representative has told us that there will be alternative machines, but we don’t rule out the option of manual ticket checking at the gates as well,” Paul added.

The Kolkata Police will also be charging fees for maintaining the security and law and order during the matches. “This is the first time we’ll charge fees for matches at the Eden Gardens. This tournament has a commercial interest and that’s why we have taken the decision,” DC headquarters Vineet Goyal said, adding that the amount will be decided
in due course.
