Chinnaswamy Stadium Denied Match Permission Over Security Lapses

• Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara confirmed Chinnaswamy Stadium was denied permission for matches due to KSCA's failure to meet security requirements.
• The KSCA had not complied with recommendations from the Justice John Michael Cunha Commission, formed after a stampede incident.
• Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh initially denied permission for the Vijay Hazare Trophy match on December 24.
• A committee formed by Parameshwara inspected the stadium and found no compliance with the safety recommendations.
• KSCA administration, led by Venkatesh Prasad, had met the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister to seek permission.

Why It Matters: KSCA's non-compliance with security recommendations led to Chinnaswamy Stadium's match ban.
