The IPL match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC), scheduled to be held in Dharamshala, was called off Thursday night after the town experienced a sudden blackout amid reports of drone and missile attacks from Pakistan. The stadium was evacuated as a safety measure.
With Kangra airport — the nearest one to the Dharamshala venue — closed to regular air traffic, reports suggest a special train was arranged to move players out of the region safely.
Addressing the situation, IPL chairman Arun Dhumal told PTI on Thursday night: “We are reviewing the situation right now. It is an evolving situation. We haven’t received any directive from the government. Obviously the decision will be taken keeping all the logistics in mind.”
