The meeting between the BCCI officials and the Home Ministry, which took place on Monday, failed to break the deadlock regarding the schedule of the second season of the Indian Premier League.
The meeting took place for one and a half hours but no decision could be reached. Five BCCI officials went into the crucial meeting to discuss the internal security in the mega event which is clashing with the election dates.
N Srinivisan, Honourary Secretary of the BCCI, said after the meeting: "Both, the IPL and the Home Ministry expressed our concerns."
The Union Home Ministry held the meeting to ask the organisers of the IPL to hold proper consultations with the states where they want to hold the Twenty20 matches.
Before submitting the revised schedule, IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi had said that during chalking out the new fixtures, all states concerned had been taken into confidence.
Many states have voiced their inabilities to provide security during the matches. The Andhra Pradesh Government declared on Sunday that it will be able to provide security for the IPL games only after April 26, when the polls are over in the state.
Reports suggest that Kolkata may be taken off from the schedule as the state of West Bengal was demanding deployment of 30 companies of central para-military forces.
