Modi, BCCI express grief
New Delhi/Bengaluru: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday expressed deep sorrow over the stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium here during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL victory celebrations. "The mishap in Bengaluru is absolutely heartrending. In this tragic hour, my thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that those who are injured have a speedy recovery," the Prime Minister said in a post on X. Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Secretary Devajit Saikia said, "Organisers should have planned RCB's IPL-winning celebrations better.' He acknowledged the scale of the celebrations but pointed out a lack of adequate crowd control measures."

Terrifying Turn To Joyful Fervour: 11 die in Bengaluru stampede
Bengaluru: Celebrations descended into chaos and finally tragedy as 11 people lost their lives and more than 30 were left injured outside the Chinnaswamy stadium while trying to join a party inside the venue to honour Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL triumph here on Wednesday. However, the felicitation of the players went ahead nonetheless as the stadium was packed to the rafters despite the chaos. Much like that of Tuesday night when team's win in Ahmedabad triggered a street party in the Garden City, Wednesday too had thousands, which eventually became lakhs, converging at the Chinnaswamy stadium, leaving the police outnumbered and struggling to take control of the situation. The men in uniform tried to use mild force to disperse the crowd or to at least bring some order but that did little to discourage people, many of whom could be seen pressed against the stadium's entrance gate, desperate to get in. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced that 11 had died and 33 were injured "due to stampede near Chinnaswamy Stadium." "More than 2-3 lakh people came near Chinnaswamy Stadium, no one expected this crowd," Siddaramaiah said. "Most of deceased in RCB celebrations are youth. Government will provide Rs 10 lakh compensation to kin of deceased," he added, while declaring that there will be a magisterial inquiry into the incident. The injured are being treated at the nearby Vydehi hospital and Bowering hospital. "Crowd was uncontrollable, police was finding it difficult, so we had to stop procession," Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said, while speaking about the tragedy because of which a planned victory parade could not take place. The BCCI said the turn of events was shocking and the organisers should have been better-prepared. "It's most unfortunate, organisers should have planned RCB's IPL-winning celebrations better," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said. "When one organises a victory celebration of this magnitude, proper precautions and security measures need to be taken," he added. Similar sentiments were expressed by IPL chairman Arun Dhumal, who said "Whatever inquiry that needs to be done, the concerned authorities will do that. It was not a BCCI event. It is sad and tragic." The political slugfest also started soon enough with the Opposition BJP targeting the Congress-led government for not handling the situation properly. And the show went on… However, inside the Chinnaswamy, the show went on with players delivering speeches to acknowledge each other and the fans amid thumping music and bursting of firecrackers as well. "It's for all of you - the fans, the people of this wonderful city, people who've supported RCB through thick and thin. I've never seen any fan base of any team in the world like this franchise," said Virat Kohli, who was the cynosure of all eyes after ticking another box in his illustrious career. This was after the Rajat Patidar-led team landed in Bengaluru in the afternoon, received by Shivakumar at the airport. RCB defeated Punjab Kings by six runs in the IPL final at Ahmedabad on Tuesday to clinch their maiden title in 18 years. Patidar, like Kohli, also waxed eloquent about RCB's loyal fans, considered by many as the most passionate alongside the ones who adore Chennai Super Kings. "You all deserve the trophy. We all love you," Patidar said at the felicitation ceremony. The scenes leading up to the tragedy reminded one of the historic welcome given to the T20 World Cup-winning Indian squad by Mumbai in July last year. However, while the sea of humanity had a gala time in Mumbai, things went haywire in the Garden City. The much-anticipated open-top bus parade, which was allowed to proceed by Siddaramaiah from Vidhana Soudha to the stadium, ultimately could not take place as crowd became unmanageable for the police. The Bengaluru Traffic Police had already discouraged such a plan citing the congestion on the route. At the Chinnaswamy stadium, fans jostled to sneak inside and it turned into a tragedy. Thousands were also seen waiting outside the Vidhana Soudha to cheer the players. The rainy weather in the city didn't help. The police had already endured a torrid time managing the crowd that flooded the streets to celebrate the triumph last night. In visuals shared online, Kohli could be seen holding the trophy and watching in awe, thousands who lined up the team's bus route, cheerfully waving at the convoy.

RCB shown no mercy, IPL champions shredded after stampede outside Chinnaswamy claims 11 lives: 'Owner made big mistake'
What was supposed to be a happy and festive day for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans in the city turned out to be a complete horror show after a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives and left 33 injured. RCB's maiden IPL title win celebrations were marred by the unfortunate incident. Several are questioning the need for having such a big event within 18 hours after winning the tournament. While accountability is being demanded, former India pacer Madan Lal believes responsibility needs to be taken by RCB as well as they erred in judgement. While the news of the stampede garnered headlines, the RCB management proceeded with the celebrations inside the stadium. Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli gave short speeches before the event eventually wrapped. While RCB have made it clear that they cut short the celebrations upon finding about the stampede, the franchise continues to be questioned about the need for having such a big and lavish event within hours of winning the tournament. It must be mentioned that this is the first time that a victory parade of such scale was planned in the IPL. Former India pacer Madan Lal, who was part of the 1983 World Cup-winning squad, questioned RCB's decision to go ahead with the event so quickly, as they could have easily waited two to three days. 'It's extremely unfortunate that 11 lives were lost, this tragedy should never have happened. It was completely avoidable. You celebrated in Ahmedabad on Tuesday night. What was the rush for holding celebrations in Bengaluru?' Madan Lal told news agency PTI. Also Read: 'DISGRACED': BCCI shocked but has 'no role' in Bengaluru stampede 'The celebrations could have been held two or three days later, and RCB fans would have still shown up in full spirit. You could have given proper timings. Even if it was held after 2-3 days, the RCB fans would have still turned up. Had that been done, this incident might have been prevented,' he added. Madan Lal also blamed RCB owners, saying the franchise made a big statement by going with the celebrations so quickly. He added that the state government is at fault, but one cannot deny RCB's role. 'Who is to blame - RCB or the government? If the state government had denied permission, the celebrations wouldn't have gone ahead. So the government is definitely accountable, but RCB is also at fault,' said Madan Lal. 'The team was taken out for a public celebration just four hours after landing, what was the urgency? IPL teams have a huge fan following these days. The franchise owner made an error in judgment, he made a big mistake," he added. It must also be mentioned that the Bengaluru Traffic Police had denied the permission for a victory parade. However, as per reports, the RCB management kept trying to persuade to allow the parade to go ahead for a brief while from Vidhana Soudha to the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Madan Lal, however, stated that BCCI had no role in the incident. 'BCCI cannot be blamed. It was RCB's responsibility, they should have worked together with the government. Who will look after the families who lost someone during the stampede?' he said. 'All that joy and celebration now feels hollow and ruined. There was absolutely no need to fly RCB in and organise a celebration in such haste. What was the need for such a hurried celebration? There was a big communication gap. Sadly, in our country, human lives continue to be undervalued,' he added.
