In the aftermath of the RCB stampede outside Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium on June 4, where cricket enthusiasts gathered to catch a glimpse of stars like Virat Kohli, chaos ensued. In response, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has taken substantial steps to support the families of the 11 fans who tragically lost their lives.
The RCB team celebrated their first win of the 18th IPL season on June 3, following a narrow 6-run victory over Punjab Kings (PBKS). The victory was to be commemorated with a parade in Bangalore, initially planned on an open-top bus. However, the enormous crowd exceeded stadium capacity, with Karnataka's CM Siddaramaiah reporting 35,000 seats but more than 300,000 attendees gathered outside, tragically leading to 11 casualties.
The RCB franchise, demonstrating deep empathy, has announced a humanitarian initiative to financially aid the bereaved families with 1 million Rupees each, ensuring they are not left unsupported during this distressing time.
