Kolkata, 17/5: The West Bengal government has decided to upgrade the security cover of former Indian cricket team captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly to Z category, a senior official said.
The decision was taken on Tuesday following the expiry of the tenure of Y category security provided to Ganguly.
“As the security cover of the VVIP expired, a review was done as per the protocol and it was decided to raise Ganguly’s security cordon to Z category,” he said.
As per the new security arrangement, the former cricketer will have 8 to 10 police personnel guarding him, the official said.
