kolkata, April 24 After the Sunday's fiasco when a power disruption had stalled the IPL match at the Eden Gardens, the state government has decide to closely monitor the April 29 match when Kolkata Knight Riders will play against Mumbai Indians.

"Till now there is no reason to believe that there was any sabotage that caused the power failure during the IPL match on April 20. But to prevent any such thing people will be deployed at the power control room at Eden Gardens," said Ashoke Mohan Chakrabarty, state home secretary after a high-level meeting on the issue.

The meeting, which was presided over by chief secretary Amit Kiran Deb, was also attended by Sports Secretary AK Patnaik, Kolkata Police Commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakrabarty and CAB president Prasun Mukherjee.

The state government has taken a host of measures to ensure for Tuesday's match, said Chakrabarty. "The electronic scoreboard will be fixed by the CAB. And so far as poor water supply is concerned Pepsi, which supplies water to Eden Gardens, has been told to provide 3 lakh pouches of water. In the last IPL match it was 65,000. The PWD has also been asked to provide uninterrupted water to the four tanks at Eden," the home secretary said after the meeting.

So far as power failure is concerned, the official said that the government was unable to find out who or what exactly led to power failure during Sunday's match.

"We don't know how it had happened but to ensure that this does not take place again," Chakrabarty added.

The list of measures taken by the government to prevent reoccurrence of a power disruption include deployment of officials from the CAB and the CESC at the police control room, setting up of four additional small control rooms, replacing the chokes at the towers, air-conditioning the control room, converting the four feeder lines into dedicated lines (that will supply power to the floodlights only).

To ensure that there is no dearth of transport, the transport department has been asked to arrange buses.
