US EditionRCB Deploys AI Cameras for Enhanced Crowd Safety at Chinnaswamy Stadium | Sports-Games
RCB plans to install 300-350 AI cameras at Chinnaswamy Stadium to improve crowd control and prevent incidents after 11 fatalities in last year's stampede, costing ₹4.5 crore.
- On Friday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru submitted a formal proposal to the Karnataka State Cricket Association to install 300 to 350 AI-powered cameras at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium ahead of the IPL 2026 season.
- On June 4 last year, a stampede at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium killed at least 11 fans and prompted criticism that sidelined the venue and excluded it from the Women's World Cup.
- RCB partnered with Staqu, Indian technology firm, to deploy facial recognition and intelligent monitoring systems using real-time video analytics that alert law enforcement agencies.
- RCB said it would cover the one-time estimated cost of ₹4.5 crore, while a KSCA decision remains pending amid talks about Pune hosting some matches.
- With the IPL due to start on March 26, the timing heightens pressure on the KSCA as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, named first accused in the stampede case, faces political opposition from Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar.
