Karnataka Grants Conditional Approval for Matches at Chinnaswamy Stadium with Safety Conditions

Karnataka has granted conditional permission for cricket matches at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium following a stampede in June that led to a suspension of events. The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) must complete safety, security, and infrastructure improvements recommended by a committee led by senior officials, based on Justice Cunha's report. The government will conduct further inspections before allowing matches, with final decisions on fan attendance pending. KSCA aims to complete required work by mid-March ahead of the IPL season.
