Severe weather conditions have forced the cancellation of several major sports events across India this week. Heavy monsoon rains and thunderstorms have made playing conditions unsafe for athletes and spectators alike.
Cricket matches in Mumbai and Delhi were called off due to waterlogged fields and poor visibility. The Indian Premier League organizers announced that safety remains their top priority when making these difficult decisions.
Football tournaments in Kerala and West Bengal have also been postponed indefinitely. Local authorities cited lightning risks and slippery playing surfaces as primary concerns for the cancellations.
Weather experts predict that these disruptions may continue throughout the monsoon season. Event organizers are now considering indoor alternatives or rescheduling options for affected competitions. |
