Punjab vs Mohun Bagan update: Punjab FC, the newcomers to the Indian Super League (ISL), will be forced to play their next two home matches behind closed doors due to “unforeseen circumstances.” This decision comes after the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) raised concerns about the stadium’s fire safety measures following a fatal incident in March.
A Matchday Dampened by Safety Concerns

However, prioritizing safety takes precedence. The club expressed their regret for the fan inconvenience but offered no details on the “unforeseen circumstances.”
Renewing Safety Measures, Renewing Hope
The DFS notice highlights the importance of adhering to fire safety regulations. A thorough inspection and renewal of the stadium’s fire safety certificate are crucial before welcoming back spectators.
