Chinnaswamy Stadium unsafe: Report points fingers at several stakeholders
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru has been declared "unsuitable and unsafe" for large events by a judicial commission following a deadly stampede during an IPL celebration. The report highlights critical infrastructure deficiencies and indicts several stakeholders, including RCB and event organizers, for negligence. Legal actions are expected against implicated parties, and the Karnataka High Court is reviewing a petition challenging the commission's findings. Upcoming events, including the Maharaja Trophy T20, will be held behind closed doors, and the future of the ICC Women's World Cup fixtures remains uncertain.
