Hardik threat on Rajkot ODI

RAJKOT: The Rajkot stadium was fortified and the city secured with deployment of large posse of police to ensure smooth conduct of the third ODI cricket match between India and South Africa on Sunday as Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel threatened to stage protests at the venue. Following Hardik’s threat, the Rajkot administration on Saturday night banned mobile internet services in the district. “We have decided to ban mobile internet service from 10 PM tonight to 8 AM on October 19,” District Collector Manisha Chandra said.
