IPL seeks bullet-proof cars

India's Twenty20 cricket league organisers are looking for 80 bullet-proof cars and buses to transport players as they bid to secure government clearance for their tournament, according to local media reports.The Indian Premier League (IPL), scheduled to take place from April 10 to May 24, has yet to be given home ministry approval after security concerns escalated in the wake of the attack on the Sri Lankan team in neighbouring Pakistan. The Indian Express reported the IPL had said they needed 64 bullet-proof cars and 16 buses and wanted them within 15 days, while the Times of India reported the IPL's South African security consultants had approached an Indian company. "This is a recommendation that has been given to us. We're looking into it and we're hoping we will manage it," the Indian Express quoted an unnamed league official as saying. When contacted by agencies, an IPL official said they had no comment to make on the reports.
