Uncertainty looms over Thursday night's Indian Super League (ISL) football match between NorthEast United FC and Chennaiyin FC in Guwahati, which has been placed under an indefinite curfew following protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
According to an official, the match is unlikely to take place in view of the current situation. The game is slated to be played at the Indira Gandhi Athletics Stadium in Guwahati.
"The match is unlikely to take place on Thursday," a source told PTI.
"We are waiting for an official word from the league officials," the source added.
The two teams did not train on Wednesday and the pre-match media interactions were also called off.
Guwahati, the epicentre of anti-CAB protests, was placed under indefinite curfew on Wednesday night while Army was called in at four places.
