Assam’s Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is gearing up to host its inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) match today. The venue has been abuzz with preparations for some time now, as players and spectators alike eagerly await the start of the game.
In an interesting development, the authorities have opted to cover the ‘dirty’ Bharalu River with a large tarpaulin instead of cleaning it up. This decision was taken to ensure that the players are not disturbed by the sight of the river, which is known to be heavily polluted.
The concerned department has installed a massive tarpaulin to temporarily conceal the river and keep it out of sight of the players. While some have criticized the move as a mere band-aid solution, others have welcomed it as a pragmatic approach to ensuring that the IPL match goes ahead without any hitches.
As fans gear up for the match, all eyes will be on the Barsapara Stadium and the exciting cricketing action that is set to unfold.
