West Bengal government today said it would take action against Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) for allegedly defying fire service regulations in a temporary gallery at the Eden Gardens during an IPL match.
"CAB has shown little respect for government rules and regulations during yesterday's IPL match at the Eden Gardens where the temporary gallery did not have sanction of the Fire Services department," state fire services minister Pratim Chatterjee told reporters here.
Stating that the matter was serious, the minister said it could not be supported. "I will not bow to any pressure."
Chatterjee also threatened to lodge an FIR against CAB president Jagmohan Dalmiya for the alleged violation of norms.
CAB officials were not available for comment.
The PWD had asked for some modifications to the temporary gallery to obtain a no objection certificate.
The gallery in between the under-construction Block B and the club house, is made of wood.
