Stadium Safety Row Threatens National Cricket Tournament
A shadow looms over the upcoming national cricket tournament, scheduled for August 11 to 27, as per ESPNCricinfo. A recent report casts serious doubts on the safety of the proposed venue.
Last week, a state government-appointed committee investigating a previous stampede declared the stadium unfit for large gatherings.
The committee strongly recommended relocating the tournament to a more suitable venue capable of safely accommodating large crowds.
This raises serious concerns about the preparedness and safety of the event, potentially impacting thousands of spectators and players. The authorities must act swiftly to ensure a safe and successful tournament, addressing the safety concerns before the event commences. Failure to do so could have severe repercussions for the image of the tournament and the state.
