Ditched the famous RCB Parade, Only a Stadium Celebration in Bengaluru Now
"Bengaluru police announces plans for RCB celebrations: No triumphant procession"
The much-hyped victory parade for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) won't be happening on the streets of Bengaluru, as announced by the city police yesterday. Instead, there'll be a minimized celebration at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Thousands of die-hard RCB fans were eagerly anticipating the open-top bus parade from Vidhana Soudha to M Chinnaswamy Stadium, but it's all systems off due to hindrances in logistics and security management. The parade's cancellation was a tough pill for many fans to swallow, especially after the nail-biting IPL final win in Ahmedabad that ended RCB's 18-year title drought[1].
Instead of the public roadshow, RCB will partake in a felicitation ceremony at the stadium between 5 PM and 6 PM[2]. Ticket holders will be the only ones to attend the event. In a bid to keep traffic manageable, police have advised citizens to stay away from the roads surrounding Vidhana Soudha and Chinnaswamy Stadium from 3 PM to 8 PM. This is due to the anticipated surge of fans near the stadium, and the restricted parking space in the CBD being a major concern[2].
Officials are collaborating with civic and traffic departments to handle the expected rush of fans near the stadium. They encourage commuters to make use of Metro and other forms of public transportation to reach the venue or navigate the city during the evening hours[2].
Earlier in the day, the RCB players left Ahmedabad at 10 AM, and are expected to land at HAL Airport in Bengaluru by 1:30 PM. They'll meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah at Vidhana Soudha around 4 PM, before moving on to the stadium for the official celebration[2].
Although the real parade on the streets is a no-go, authorities are ensuring that festive arrangements are set up inside the stadium to celebrate RCB's long-awaited triumph[2].
