Bengaluru: There is tremendous enthusiasm among cricket fans regarding the final match of IPL 2026. Defending champion Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to face Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, even before the start of the match, Bengaluru Police has issued a strict advisory for the city residents and RCB fans.
The police have clearly said that even if RCB wins the title, people should not take to the streets and celebrate. There has been a ban on bursting firecrackers, taking out bike rallies and gathering crowds. This decision of the police has been taken after the Chinnaswamy Stadium stampede incident that took place last year, in which many people lost their lives.
Lessons learned from last year’s incident
RCB won its first title in IPL 2025. After the team’s victory, a huge crowd had gathered outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The situation became so bad that a stampede broke out and 11 people died. After this painful accident, the police and administration do not want to take any risk this time.
Police issued strict rules
Bengaluru Police says that after the final, a large number of people may come out to celebrate in the city. This may affect traffic and law and order. For this reason many activities have been banned.
