For sports fans in India, the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi is a hallowed venue. In the past it has hosted the 2010 Commonwealth Games, footballer Bhaichung Bhutia's farewell match against Bayern Munich, the SAFF Championships as well as many other events. Recently, however, it hosted a music concert of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh on Saturday and Sunday as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour. The concert, which was a well-attended event, is however generating negative news after what it allegedly did to the JLN Stadium.

Punjab FC, the Indian Super League (ISL) team that also uses Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as its home ground, is now dealing with the concert's fallout as it prepares to face Chennaiyin FC on Thursday night.
With Punjab FC currently in fourth place on the ISL points table, the team was counting on a pristine pitch to give them an edge. Instead, players and staff were met with debris and stadium personnel scrambling to restore the field in time.
