The BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla called for a collective effort to initiate and execute the damage control after 11 were dead and 33 were injured in the stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, June 4. The crowd situation got incorrigible as the fans in Bengaluru, who waited for their team RCB to lift the IPL trophy with bated breath for 18 years, hit the streets in numbers to get a glimpse of their favourite stars but an event originally planned as a celebration turned into a tragic and avoidable incident.
