Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday said that all health measures will be ensured before the 13th season of the Indian Premier League is given a go-ahead by the government. 

Speaking on India TV on Friday, Rijiju said, "As far as IPL and other sporting leagues go, we need to ensure that health and other mechanisms are in place before we take any



informed decision."

Rijiju also clarified that all sporting events to be held this year will be in empty stadiums. 

"Once the sporting events restart, we need to adapt ourselves to them being held at empty stadia without spectators. At least till the end of this year, expect no spectators as sporting events resume," he added.
