Rajasthan State Sports Council (RSSC) chairperson Neeraj K Pawan assured fans and stakeholders that there is no cause for concern, with comprehensive security measures in place to ensure a safe and smooth experience.

The bomb threats, on May 8 and May 12, which caused initial alarm, prompted swift action from authorities. A third threat mail was received Tuesday afternoon, prompting the police to launch a full-scale search operation at the stadium. This one too turned out to be a hoax.
