Delhi: After RCB’s IPL Trophy victory, a lot has been written about what happened in the stampede in Bengaluru. As if the storm has come on social media. Who did what, where was the mistake and who is telling whom is telling it, it is the story after every major accident, but the question is again that why does this happen in the celebration of cricket?

The arrangement faded in front of the crowd

This is the 18th year of the IPL and in the last 17 years and the other city team has won the IPL, then the victory was celebrated there too, but the fan base of RCB has also crossed the extent of the discussion of their craze. The arrangement that was in front of the crowd faded and the situation became uncontrollable.

There are many stories of accident during the game

There are many stories of accidents during the game in India, but until a few years ago, they used to associate them with violence in football like European countries. Violence and stampede were a common news between Mohun Bagan and fan of East Bengal Football Club in Kolkata. In 1980, 16 such fans were killed in one such stampede. In contrast, the stories in cricket were more in the stadium to provoke India’s poor game.

During the Kolkata Test with Gary Sobers’s West Indies team in 1966-67, the situation became so uncontrollable due to arson, sabotage and violence that it was difficult for the cricketers to save their lives.

There were riots like riots in the stadium

In 1969-70, the audience, who was angry with the host team’s game towards defeat at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, heard in the radio commentary that the umpire had given Venkataraghavan wrong out and there were some riots in the stadium. During the Kolkata Test of the same series, there was a stampede at the counter of the ticket sales before the fourth day game and the crowd became uncontrollable, then the policemen riding the horse had lathi on those innocent people. On that day more than 10 cricket lovers died and many were injured. After this accident, the process of selling everyday sports tickets stopped.

13 deaths and about 100 injured

26/11 of cricket in India was done in 1995 itself. New Zealand team was playing ODI at VCA Ground in Nagpur. In the city, the first big match in 5 years and for this, they made poor arrangements in the lure of earning in the stadium in a hurry. Keeping every security on hold, sold more tickets than capacity. In the midst of the match, the weight of the crowd in the new stand at the eastern end of the stadium could not withstand the weight of 4 inches thick and the third floor fell as many spectators from the height. The death of death took place and even though the news of 13 deaths and about 100 injured came to be officially, the accident was much larger than this.

Delay in arranging police ambulance

There was no arrangement in the stadium to deal with this on such a big accident and the injured in the arranging of the ambulance of the police were suffering there. All government and cricket association officials fled from there. And see that the match continued, just as the celebrations continued in Bengaluru.

Arrangements have to be made professional

Cricket in India has now come to such a point where arrangements for cricket will have to be made professional and arrangements will have to be made according to the right estimates of the crowd. When women’s cricket matches showed ‘free’ in Mumbai, there was no accident. Fans who are making this cricket famous come to celebrate cricket in every celebration, do not buy death for themselves. What lesson will be taken from what happened in Bangalore?
