NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders' home match against Lucknow Super Giants on April 6 is set to be relocated to Guwahati after the police expressed their inability to provide security for the IPL fixture due to 'Ram Navami' celebrations in the city on the same day, Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president Snehasish Ganguly told PTI on Thursday.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari had earlier announced that over 20,000 processions would be organised across West Bengal to mark the festival.
