Just hours before the start of the crucial India-Pakistan cricket World Cup semifinal, light rain lashed Chandigarh and nearby Mohali late Tuesday evening.
The showers were accompanied by thunder and strong winds.
India and Pakistan play each other at Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali in a day-night encounter Wednesday.
Multi-layered security has been put around the stadium, including the Special Protection Group, National Security Guard, Central and State police forces. Mohali’s Senior Superintendent of Police, GPS Bhullar said that watertight security arrangements are there.
Prime Ministers of India and Pakistan besides a host of VVIPs will be watching the match. Anti-aircraft guns will be placed strategically and NSG commandos will join a large number of security personnel to guard the stadium, which will be primarily taken over by the elite SPG. With the arch-rivals facing each other after a long gap as bilateral action between the two nations had been suspended in the wake of Mumbai terror attacks in 2008, cricket mania has been touching new heights with each passing moment.
Earlier, the weatherman had predicted that rain could play spoilsport in Wednesday’s high-voltage match.
“Partly cloudy sky will prevail over in the Mohali region on Wednesday. Thunderstorms and dust-storms along with light rain, by the evening, could also prevail in various parts of this region on tomorrow,” a Met official had told IANS.
