“Yes there has been alterations to the guidelines and we have had negotiations with PTI and IANS in a meeting to end the boycott. I am hoping things will be solved soon and already 1200 accreditations have been processed till today morning,” Modi told The Indian Express on Sunday.

The IPL has also made it clear that there would not be any restrictions on off-field photographs.
