News India Live, Digital Desk: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, which is one of the prestigious cricket grounds of India, has now been declared ‘unsafe’ for large gathering. This decision comes after a tragic stampede, which has raised serious questions about the old and poor maintenance infrastructure of the stadium. The incident has once again made the headlines of the audience’s safety and crowd management challenges at the sports sites. The announcement is particularly to the stampede caused by the collapse and dislocation of a ramp near the stadium’s ‘gate’ k gate. Eyewitnesses and early investigations have shown that there were serious flaws in security standards and mob management. In the stadium, especially on entry and exit points, adequate lighting and lack of proper guidance further spoiled the situation. Experts believe that the old construction of the stadium and negligence in its maintenance has increased this risk. The announcement means that the Chinnaswamy Stadium will no longer be able to host any sports or entertainment event with a large number of audiences with immediate effect. This has led to a cloud of uncertainty on future IPL IPL matches, international cricket events and other big programs. Such events may either have to transfer to other stadiums or have to cut their capacity heavy, causing great losses to cricket fans and organizers. In the past, the stadium has been a witness to several memorable matches, including important matches such as the India-Pakistan T20 World Cup match. The Karnataka State Cricket Association KSCA, which operates the stadium, is now under heavy pressure of widespread renovation and security upgradation. They have to make a thorough evaluation of structural integrity and implement better measures for mob control. It is mandatory to take all the necessary steps to ensure the safety of the stadium, so that any such untoward incident can be avoided in the future. This incident gives a bitter reminiscent that the safety of the audience in sports events is paramount. There is a need for immediate attention and investment to keep historical places like Chinnaswamy Stadium safe and modern so that such tragic events do not be repeated in future and fans can enjoy the game without any fear.
