“We don't want spectators consume liquor so close to the cricket ground,” said a senior excise official.

The department has also asked the stadium management to ensure that the persons consuming liquor from the licensed enclosures do not go out with liquor in their hands. The stadium management has also been asked to put up display board warning spectators not to indulge in public drinking.

“We will deploy our enforcement team to keep a close eye during the match on Sunday,” an official said.
