Bengaluru Police Cancel RCB Victory Parade, Citing Security and Traffic Concerns
Bengaluru Police declared on Tuesday afternoon that the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) would not be participating in their much-anticipated victory parade. After their historic first title victory in Ahmedabad the IPL winning team is expected to arrive in the city just hours before the decision is made.
Chinnaswamy Stadium will Host a Ceremony of Recitation
Police explained that there would not be a public roadshow because of logistical and security reasons even as thousands of fans prepared to line the streets for the open-top bus procession from Vidhana Soudha to M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Instead the team will take part in a felicitation ceremony from 5 to 6 p. m. at Chinnaswamy Stadium. The police also mentioned that only individuals with valid tickets will be allowed entry.
Police issued a public advisory in both Kannada and English warning residents to stay off the roads near Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium between 3 and 8 p. m. due to heavy traffic and crowding. Authorities also cited the Central Business Districts (CBD) scarcity of parking as a major deterrent to the parade’s staging.
