IPL matches get in-principle nod at Chinnaswamy Stadium: Minister Parameshwara

BENGALURU: (Feb 13) Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Friday said the government has given "in-principle approval" for IPL matches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. However, a decision on allowing celebrations at the venue in the future will be taken separately, he added.

He made it clear that the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), which manages the stadium, must comply with the safety and security requirements recommended by the Justice John Michael Cunha Commission before the matches.

The Karnataka Cabinet on Thursday decided to grant conditional approval for IPL matches at the stadium.
