Reportedly the indian Super League (ISL) football match between NorthEast United FC and Chennaiyin FC in guwahati was on thursday postponed indefinitely after the host city was placed under a curfew following protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and the game was slated to be played at the indira gandhi Athletics Stadium there.

 

The ISL said in a statement that "Due to the ongoing unrest in guwahati, match 37 between NorthEast United FC and Chennaiyin FC has been postponed until further notice and the league has been in consultation with the concerned authorities over the past 48 hours to determine the best course of action. The safety of fans, players and league staff is of paramount importance, which has led to this decision". Perhaps the two teams did not train on wednesday and the pre-match media interactions were also called off.

 

Currently guwahati, the epicenter of anti-CAB protests, was placed under indefinite curfew on wednesday night while the army was called in at four places. Moreover assam Rifles personnel were deployed in Tripura on wednesday after the two north-eastern states plunged into chaos over the hugely emotive Citizenship (Amendment) Bill or CAB, which seeks to provide indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from pakistan bangladesh and Afghanistan. Reports stated that a team official of NorthEast United FC said the side is currently stuck in a hotel in Guwahati.
