    Safety Is Paramount, Will Take Fourfold Measures: K'taka HM On IPL Cricket Matches At Chinnaswamy Stadium

    Karnataka State Cricket Association: Responding to the government’s decision to allow IPL and international matches at Bengaluru’s iconic Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium, Karnataka Home Minister G. Parameshwara stated that safety is paramount and that security measures will be strengthened fourfold.

    It can be noted that the Karnataka government on Thursday granted conditional permission to resume cricket matches at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, months after the venue was barred from hosting events following the June 4, 2025, stampede during Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) maiden IPL title celebrations, in which 11 people lost their lives.

    Speaking to reporters in Bengaluru on Friday, Parameshwara, while answering questions about the guidelines issued to the stadium authorities, said, “As far as police security is concerned, we will ensure that fourfold measures are taken. It will be more than what is required this time. We will primarily convey to the authorities to implement the recommendations of the Justice D’Cunha Committee. We will not insist on any new measures. Safety is of utmost importance.”
