      <title>IPL suspended as India pays for war</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415941/ipl-suspended-as-india-pays-for-war</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has been suspended indefinitely due to heightened military tensions between India and Pakistan, &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330413189/pakistan-expresses-concern-over-attack-in-pahalgam"&gt;which escalated following a terrorist attack in Pahalgam.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We are reviewing the situation. It is evolving rapidly. Any decision will be made in consultation with government agencies and based on logistical considerations,”  IPL chairman Arun Dhumal told &lt;em&gt;PTI&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that the league is suspended until further notice and is working closely with authorities while awaiting official guidance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The BCCI announced the decision on Thursday after an emergency meeting with tournament officials, emphasizing that the safety of players, staff, and fans was their top priority.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Previously, the match on May 8 between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamsala was interrupted midway because of air raid alerts in nearby Jammu and Pathankot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spectators were evacuated amid concerns of a potential strike, raising serious doubts about the tournament’s future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The situation escalated on Wednesday late at night when &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415567/pakistan-shoots-down-five-indian-military-jets-after-delhi-launches-missile-strike-at-six-pakistani-locations"&gt;India targeted six locations,&lt;/a&gt; including Bahawalpur, Kotli, and Muzaffarabad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Moreover, ISPR &lt;a href="https://english.aaj.tv/news/330415786/at-least-31-civilians-martyred-57-wounded-in-indian-attack-confirms-dg-ispr"&gt;confirmed&lt;/a&gt; that it led to the martyrdom of 31 Pakistani civilians and injuries to 57 others.&lt;/p&gt;
