Eden Gardens in Kolkata has been placed on high alert ahead of the India-South Africa Test beginning November 14, following a deadly car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort that killed eight and injured several. Authorities are treating the incident as a suspected terror attack, prompting heightened security across major cities. Kolkata Police, alongside the Special Task Force, are enforcing a three-layered security ring at Eden Gardens, covering perimeters, gates, and stands with scanners, detectors, and plainclothes officers. Hotels housing both teams are under strict watch, while Indian coach Gautam Gambhir’s temple visit may be deferred. The Cricket Association of Bengal will finalize protocols before the November 14–19 fixture. (PC: CNN & India Beyond Curry)
