Shimla/Dharamshala, May 8 (UNI) In response to the escalating tensions along the Indo-Pak border, authorities in Himachal Pradesh on Thursday ordered the immediate cancellation of the ongoing IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at Dharamshala’s HPCA Stadium.
The match, which was being played under heightened security, was abruptly halted mid-way. Emergency gates were flung open to facilitate the safe evacuation of thousands of spectators, and all stadium lights were switched off to prevent any potential aerial targeting.
As crowds exited the stadium, chants of "Down with Pakistan" echoed in the air, reflecting rising public anger over the sudden disruption and the attack on Indian soil.
