IPL 2025: RCB’s Open Bus Victory Parade Cancelled, Says Bengaluru Traffic Police
As per an earlier announcement from the franchise, the open-top bus parade was supposed to begin from 5pm and run from Vidhana Soudha to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the team’s home ground, where a felicitation event would take place from 6pm.
This was to happen after the RCB team would meet Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at the Vidhan Soudha. But a social media post from the Bengaluru Traffic Police said there will be ‘NO’ victory parade and that the victory event will just be the felicitation ceremony at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“There will be a felicitation function for the RCB team at the Chinnaswamy Stadium from 5 pm to 6 pm. Public are advised to avoid roads surrounding Vidhan Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium from 3 pm to 8 pm. There will be ‘NO’ victory parade. Due to limited parking, public are advised to use Metro and other public transport,” said the Bengaluru Traffic Police in the social media post.
In another traffic advisory, the Bengaluru police said entry of the fans to the Chinnaswamy Stadium will be restricted to those with valid passes. It further advised the attendees to use the Metro and other public transport due to limited parking availability around the stadium.
