IPL Matches Get Conditional Nod at Chinnaswamy Stadium: Minister Parameshwara

• Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara announced in-principle approval for IPL matches at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
• Approval is conditional on the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) complying with safety recommendations from the Justice John Michael Cunha Commission.
• The commission was formed after a stampede outside the stadium during RCB's IPL victory celebrations last year, which killed 11 people.
• A committee led by GBA Commissioner Maheshwara Rao will oversee safety measures, with four times more police personnel deployed.
• Future decisions on allowing celebrations at the venue will be taken separately, as the stampede occurred during celebrations, not matches.
