According to sources, Pak hockey team’s manager Asif Bajwa will request the Organising Committee in tomorrow’s meeting to ramp up the security of Pakistani team.

According to sources, the team was given high-level security; but, only two vehicles accompany the team in passage to the ground and back to their hotel.
