    UPCA Dismisses Safety Concerns, Ensures Green Park Stadium Is Ready For India-Bangladesh Test

    Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association: As the Indian cricket team gears up to face Bangladesh in the second Test at the historic Green Park Stadium in Kanpur, concerns were raised regarding the venue's safety, particularly the C Balcony. However, official from the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has firmly denied any safety risks, assuring fans that all necessary precautions have been taken.

    Reports had surfaced suggesting that the C Balcony, which typically holds 10,000 spectators, was structurally compromised and could be at risk of collapsing due to the weight of fans. In response, the UPCA acted swiftly, bringing in experts from the Public Works Department and Kanpur's Harcourt Butler Technical University to assess the situation.

    Speaking on Thursday, the UPCA's venue director Sanjay Kapoor dismissed the allegations, stating, "It’s all baseless rumours that there is a safety concern for the fans. Out of the 10,000 seats available on the balcony, we have been advised to reduce capacity to 7,200, and we are not selling tickets for the remaining 2,800 seats." Kapoor emphasised that fans' safety remains the association’s top priority.
