GUWAHATI: In the new guidelines issued by the Assam Government for the fourth phase of the nationwide lockdown, it has been mentioned that, "Sports activities without person to person contact and spectators shall be allowed."

Given that two of the stadiums – Nehru Stadium and Sarusajai Statdium - have been turned into quarantine zones in Guwahati, the question being asked is what are the sporting disciplines that will be allowed during the lockdown?
