- Debt-ridden GCA mobilized thousands of people to risk their lives to make money
Not only in Ahmedabad, but all over Gujarat, the corona is roaming like a bull. In the last five days, more than 700 cases have been reported in the state every day. Police and officers have again raised the issue of masks and social distance with the general public. But with the name of Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), the seriousness of the mask and the act of breaking the social distance disappears. This caused a lot of anger among the people. Due to this anger, today the Gujarat Cricket Association has decided to play the India-England T20 without an audience.
Earlier, on 14 March, the GCAA mobilized thousands of spectators at the expense of public health to make money. But now it seems that GCA has come to its senses.
GCA fills coffins by compromising people's health
The GCA has been saddled with debt to build the world's largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. There was also discussion that the GCA wanted to improve its financial condition by compromising the health of the people and filling its coffers. The GCA may have done so, but the state government was also eyeing the tendency of the GCA at the risk of exploding the people of Ahmedabad.
Lirleira of Social Distance flew in Sunday's match.

Refunds will also be given to the audience purchasing tickets. The GCA has decided to play the next matches behind closed doors after discussions with the BCCI. Also a policy on return of tickets for the remaining three matches. Also, those who have been given free tickets are requested not to visit the stadium.
Half of the stadium was announced to be empty on 12 March
Earlier, the Gujarat Cricket Association announced on 12 March that the stadium would be kept half-empty and Kovid's guideline would be followed. But in the second T20 match between India and England on Sunday, a large number of spectators saw the mask and social distance guidelines. A seat was to be left vacant between the two spectators, but a large crowd of people thronged. The roads around the stadium were jammed for hours before and after the match. The government, which allowed 200 in the marriage, was keeping an eye closed for the crowd.
