Summary The organizers said that the series was scheduled to start from Tuesday
(Web desk) – The Tri-nation Kabbadi International series involving Pakistan, India and Iran was rescheduled after the organisers on Tuesday failed to get security clearance for the inaugural matches in Jhang.
The organizers said that the series was scheduled to start from Tuesday with a clash between Pakistan and Indian teams at Jhang but the tournament will now be held from January 10 to 14.
“We didn’t get security clearance from the interior ministry and now the event will start from January 10th from Bahawalpur and continue in Sahiwal and end in Lahore on the 14th,” the organisers said.
Jhang in the Punjab province is notorious for being a hotbed of extremist sectarian religious parties and some religious seminaries based in the area have a reputation of being hardcore and supportive of militant elements.
