According to Accuweather, the weather forecast is “showers and a heavier t-storm, breezy, then rain; thunderstorms with damaging winds, lightning and hail can impact the soccer match and related events.” In that case, the match might take longer than 90 minutes to complete with FIFA regulations stating that the play must be halted and suspended if lightning is detected within 8 miles of the stadium.

He left the office at night. “I was questioned for over eight hours yesterday [on Sunday] and for 11 hours today [Monday]. This is a 2023 case and I have appeared before the agency 10-12 times. I won’t say whether there is a political pressure or not. The less said of the BJP, the better. On the one side, they break our party and indulge in post-poll violence. Even if you slit my throat, I won’t cower down… I will appear before the agency if they summon me even in the future,” Mr. Banerjee said, while leaving the ED office. Officials said Mr. Banerjee was …
