Working in ad hoc mode, CAB chief Mr Prasun Mukherjee said it had been decided in today's meeting that the CAB would take sole charge of the scoreboard for future matches. The charge of the scoreboard's maintenance had been given to a private agency. As for the floodlights, inspections would be carried out both today and tomorrow morning by engineers from CAB, CESC and the chief electrical inspector to ascertain what had gone wrong, Mr Goutam Mohan Chakrabarty, police commissioner said.

Mr Mukherjee blamed the infrastructure of an "old stadium" for the mess on 20 April. "Seven matches taking place consecutively is a strain for any stadium. Eden Gardens is an old stadium. Until things are revamped we will have to make do with what we have," he said. The CAB chief added that the IPL format was a "learning experience" for the CAB management.

He also said many of the bulbs of the floodlights are old, and may need to be replaced. About complaints against the pitch, Mr Mukherjee said the next match would not be played on the same pitch, after it was inspected by BCCI pitch and grounds committee chairman Mr Daljit Singh.

Four mini-control rooms will also be formed under the stadium, and these will be connected to a main control room in Kolkata Police headquarters, in case of any snag during the matches, Mr Chakrabarty said. The control rooms will have staff from the CAB, PWD civil, PWD electrical, CESC and Kolkata Police.

As a solution to the water scarcity problem that plagued visitors to the Den Gardens on 20 April, the CAB will provide 3 lakh water pouches to match spectators, while Pepsi, the drinks sponsor, will provide Pepsi water and cold drinks at stalls. Drinking water arrangements will also be made at various spots inside the stadium. DC Traffic, Mr MK Verma, said that the traffic problem witnessed on the day of the match was partly because of a ticket counter set up by the CAB on Red Road and that CAB had agreed to shift the counter.
