Jaipur Will Allow Booze, Cheergirls

Jaipur: Will Jaipur get to see the IPL cheerleaders in action? That was the question doing the rounds in the cricketing circles here till late in the evening after the district collector Kuldeep Ranka gave only a conditional approval to Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA).

It was finally clarified that the girls will be there, cheering along Shane Warne and his boys when they take on Kings XI at the Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Stadium here on Wednesday. Liquor will also be served in the stadium but this has come with a rider: "The organisers have been told to ensure that there’s no show of vulgarity in the stadium," said ADM city (south) Loknath Soni.

The administration’s volte-face was reportedly the fallout of the pressure exerted by IPL organisers, who used their clout to get this last-minute permission from the local authorities. "At least four meetings took place on Tuesday after which the administration allowed liquor as well as the cheerleaders," said an official.
