RCB Unveils Rs 4.5 Crore AI Plan for Enhanced Crowd Management at Chinnaswamy Stadium

• Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) proposes a Rs 4.5 crore AI-powered plan to install 300-350 AI-enabled cameras at M Chinnaswamy Stadium for better crowd management.
• The initiative aims to prevent IPL matches from being moved from the stadium, following a stampede last year that killed 11 fans during RCB's IPL trophy celebrations.
• The advanced surveillance technology will help manage crowd movement, ensure disciplined queueing, monitor unauthorized access, and enhance overall fan safety.
• RCB has partnered with Staqu, a company with a track record in public safety automation, to implement this technology.
• The proposal comes as a state government task force reviews safety enhancements at the stadium, with the venue needing essential permissions to host upcoming IPL and T20 World Cup matches.
