Congress worker dies in police action against party’s protest march in Guwahati
The demonstration that was part of the nationwide “Raj Bhavan Chalo” campaign turned violent when police fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
The three-match India-Sri Lanka series is scheduled to begin on Sunday. Prior to the match, President of the Assam Cricket Association (ACA) Devajit Saikia has stated that only mobile phones and purses will be permitted inside Guwahati’s Barsapara stadium premises for the match. He, in fact stated, “Except for mobile phones and purses, no other item will be allowed inside the stadium,” as quoted by ANI.

Spectators, especially in the Indian subcontinent, often carry various posters, banners and placards along with them to support their favourite team but they will not be allowed to do so in the Guwahati T20I. However, when Saikia was asked about this, he emphasised on the fact that “no other item will be allowed inside the stadium.”
