@Source: news18.com
Actress Seerat Kapoor has responded to the heartbreaking tragedy that took place outside Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. A large number of people gathered outside the stadium to celebrate Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)’s first-ever IPL title win. But as the crowd kept growing, the situation turned chaotic. There was no proper crowd control and things got out of hand. This led to a stampede which resulted in the loss of eleven lives and left sixty-seven others injured. Seerat shared her thoughts on the matter through a post on her social media. She used the platform to speak about the need for better safety measures and proper crowd control during large public events. The actress also expressed her deep sorrow and shared her prayers with all the families who lost their loved ones or had someone injured in the stampede. “Tragic. The heartbreaking incident at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, underscores the paramount importance of safety and crowd management at large events. Life is our most precious gift – we must honour it by prioritising caution, security and care. My heartfelt condolence to the bereaved families and prayers for the health of the injured,” she wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories. RCB also expressed deep sadness over what happened. They announced they would give financial help to the families of the people who lost their lives. “The unfortunate incident in Bengaluru yesterday has caused a lot of anguish and pain to the RCB family. As a mark of respect and a gesture of solidarity, RCB has announced a financial support of INR 10 lakh to each of the eleven families of the deceased,” the team said in a statement on Thursday afternoon. The franchise also shared they would set up a special fund to help those who were injured. “In addition, a fund called RCB Cares is also being created to support fans injured in this tragic incident. Our fans will always remain at the heart of everything that we do. We remain united in grief,” the statement read. Star player Virat Kohli also shared his feelings on Instagram. He said he was “gutted” after finding out what happened outside the stadium. Meanwhile, police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) regarding the incident. The report names RCB, the event management company DNA Entertainment Private Limited and the organising committee of the Karnataka State Cricket Association. This tragedy came right after RCB’s historic win against Punjab Kings in the IPL final held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
