According to the judicial committee report led by judge John Michael of Cunha, the Chinnaswamy stadium has been declared unsuitable for organizing major events. If the government considers each province of the report, the holding of major events could be arrested at the emblematic place.
This commission was created to have a clear investigation opinion on the jostling of Chinnaswamy during the celebrations of the victory of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The jostling took place on June 4, and the aforementioned accident saw the death of 11 innocent people, and several other players were injured.
The incident took place because the place was overcrowded with a lot of people, and police officials, as well as the DNA network, the management company responsible for the major event, did not expect large number of people, while RCB fans of India joined RCB celebrations.

Justice governs the Chinnaswamy stadium as inappropriate for major events
The report provided by the Cunha judge observed that the “design and structure” of the Chinnaswamy stadium is poorly suited to events of this nature.
He mentioned several problems with the premises of the stadium and suggested that no “high attendance” event should take place further in this place.
“Any future site should comply with international standards”, quoted by Deccan Herald.
The aforementioned report should have these required installations: “File and circulation zones specially designed, separated from public roads, adequate doors for the entry and mass exit, access points to integrated public transport and tourist centers, emergency evacuation plans in accordance with international safety standards, to a parking and infrastructure infrastructure participants. “
“The design and structure of the stage were unsuitable and dangerous for mass collection [sic]. All the entrance and exit doors opened directly to the path. A spacious and organized detention area for the crowd was not provided at the entrance. “”
“Consequently, the public was forced to queue on the trail or the road (obstructing) and by endangering pedestrians and vehicle movements as well as the possibility of disbelievers to reach the crowd and worsen the risk, in particular in the absence of security,” added the report.
RCB to deal with a legal opinion on the Stampede massacre
The Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah had previously noted that the commission report will be presented at the meeting of the cabinet, which finally began on July 24.
The meeting of the State cabinet approved the conclusions of the report of the Cunha judge and, according to her, held several authorities responsible for the nasty bombardity. As indicated by Mr. HK Patil, the Minister of Law and Parliamentary Affairs of Karnataka, the government must bring legal action against the RCB, the DNA network and the Karnataka State Cricket Association.
The judicial report also included the names of several police officers who were held responsible for not being able to control the situation and, therefore, the government of Karnataka also made ministerial investigations against them.
Committee to save the president of the KSCA
In the midst of all this, the Committee also suggested taking action on the president of the KSCA, Mr. Raghuram Bhat; The ex-secretary, A. Shanlar; RCB vice-president, Rajest Menon; And the director general of DNA Entertainment Networks, T. Vekat Vardhan.
Also, the following police officers, Dayananda, Vikash Kumar Vikash, Shekhar H. Tekkannavar, C. Balakrishna and Ak Girish, have been subject to sections mentioned in the report.

Informative: From what i read, if a venue is prohibited from IPL, there must be a formal policy, safety standards and a review committee. The Chinnaswamy has a long history with IPL and RCB; the decision would require BCCI to publish a clear rationale and timeline. This could impact TV revenue, sponsers and local economy. We should wait for official statement before speculating.
Comical: If the Chinnaswamy gets banned, the pigeons in the stands will sue for rights. Who will bring the snacks now? Maybe the cricket ball can start a new league. The RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium still looks great on posters though.
Ironic: Oh great, banning a stadium from IPL will totally solve the sport issues. Next we ban the grass so balls travel slower. The RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium sound dramatic on headlines, but we all know it’s more of circus than solution.
Sounds bad, they ban the stadium from IPL without proper context, not good. Without clear reason, this hurts the fans and local players, right?
I’m not saying this is true or not, but if there is a decision it should be official and with clear reasons. Right now we only have headlines. The RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium ban would affect fans, players and sponsors; details matter.
what exactly does this mean for next season? Will matches move somewhere else or be played at a neutral venue? How will broadcasters cope with this? The RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium are iconic so removing them could change a lot in the league. We need official statements soon to stop rumours.
Sure, that makes sense. Great plan to fix cricket by punishing a stadium. Because nothing says ‘improvement’ like removing a venue from the IPL. How about banning all the banners and the tickets while we’re at it.
Nice move, i like where this is heading. If the RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium is prohibited from IPL, it could set a fair precedent for other venues too. Hope the details comes clear soon.
This ain’t just about location, its about accountability. If they say safety concerns, show us the data; if not, this is dirty politics. The RCB field, the Chinnaswamy stadium being prohibited from IPL would set a dangerous precedent where venues get punished for things beyond cricket. we deserve transparency and proper timelines.
