The Karnataka government-appointed Justice John Michael D'Cunha Commission has ruled the Chinnaswamy Stadium as 'unsuitable and unsafe' for public usage. This has also put a cloud of uncertainty around certain high-profile matches like the Women's World Cup matches that will be played later this year.
The inaugural and concluding matches of the ICC Women's World Cup are to be hosted at the Chinnaswamy Stadium later this year. This statement and its acceptance by the state government can have a significant bearing on those matches.
The single-member commission was established by the state government following 11 deaths and several injuries in a stampede when crowds of people had gathered near the stadium to welcome RCB's first IPL championship.
The commission said, "The design and structure of the stadium is unsuitable and unsafe for a large number of spectators. The commission recommends that the stadium authorities consider shifting events that are expected to draw large crowds to venues that are better suited to accommodate large numbers of spectators." The commission has also recommended legal action, while DNA has filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court against the commission's findings.
