Stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium: 11 Dead
It is extremely unfortunate and shocking… Whenever there’s a big event with a large crowd gathering, there should be protocols that must be maintained: BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia speaks exclusively to TIMES NOW's… pic.twitter.com/ZvkGqBEA8k---Advertisement---— TIMES NOW (@TimesNow) June 4, 2025
What Did BCCI Say At The Bengaluru event?
Devjit Sakia said on behalf of BCCI that he had no information about the organization of the event. But the board will now keep a close eye on this matter so that no such event takes place in future. At the same time, separate guidelines will be issued in advance for such events in future. Let us tell you that even after the 2024 T20 World Cup, a victory parade was organized in Mumbai which was held in a very peaceful manner.
“I think something went wrong during the event. BCCI has no role in this. But this is a lesson for us. We will make new rules regarding this and will see that such an incident never happens again.” Sakia told Sports Tak.
Celebrations Cannot Be Held At The Cost Of Life- Dhumal
Arun Dhumal said, “We had talked to the management. They had said that they will end this ceremony as soon as possible. But this is very sad. RCB officials had clearly told me that they will end it soon. The officials did not know what happened outside. My condolences are with everyone. We did not even know who had organized the event. How could so many people come inside the stadium. But no celebration can be held at the cost of life.”
Dhumal further said that it depends on the franchise how they organize the event. All the officials of the state government were present there.
