Karnataka has introduced the Crowd Control Bill to regulate large gatherings following a deadly stampede during an IPL celebration. The Bill mandates police permissions, imposes penalties, and holds event organisers accountable for safety. It aims to prevent crowd mismanagement, ensuring accountability and compensation for victims, while excluding religious gatherings from its scope.
A stampede during a Royal Challengers Bangalore celebration near Chinnaswamy Stadium led to 11 deaths and 56 injuries. Karnataka’s Home Minister confirmed Advocate General Shashi Kiran Shetty will respond to the High Court regarding the tragedy. The court awaits an investigation report, addressing key questions about event permissions and management.
