“All decisions will be taken by the GC in Mumbai.”
Previously, the Health Minister of Maharashtra, Rajesh Tope, insisted the event be postponed. He believes that the gathering of large number of people during a time when the virus is spreading is not a great idea.
“There is always a possible danger of spread (of contagious diseases) when large numbers of people gather in one place… Such (IPL) events can always be organised later.”
