Media frenzy mars Dalmiya's Eden Gardens visit

Kolkata, March 4 (IANS) Newly elected Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Jagmohan Dalmiya's return to his home turf Eden Gardens, that houses the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) headquarters, was marred by a media frenzy on Wednesday.

Dalmiya, who was present at the Eden Gardens to award the winners of the school cricket tournament 'Mayor's Cup', left the venue in a huff without obliging the over 50 representatives of electronic and print media who were in a mad scramble for the veteran sports administrator's bytes.

Even as the reporters almost surrounded him seeking to know about his future endeavours and issues concerning Indian cricket, the 74-year-old former International Cricket Council chief refrained from saying anything.

He was quickly escorted to the car by his aides, with the media persons hot on his heels. But it was of no avail, as he was driven away from the frenzy.

On Monday, after a gap of over 10 years, Dalmiya made an uncontested comeback as full time president of the BCCI, at the board's 85th annual general meeting in Chennai.
