Bengaluru Stadium Deemed Unsafe After Stampede
A committee looked into what happened at a stadium after a crowd got hurt.
They found the stadium wasn't safe for big groups because it was hard to get in and out.
The committee said the stadium needs to be fixed or events should be moved.
They also said the people in charge of the event didn't plan well and let too many people in at once, causing the stampede.

The declaration followed a stampede during RCB's victory celebration.
The commission cited inadequate entry/exit points and queuing areas as safety concerns.
The report recommends relocating events or making infrastructure changes.
