India, June 28 -- In a significant development following the tragic stampede at Bengaluru's iconic Chinnaswamy Stadium earlier this month, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Friday announced plans for a brand new stadium in the city. The upcoming venue, which will seat 60,000 people, is aimed at easing congestion and improving crowd management during major public events.

Though the exact location of the new stadium has not been disclosed yet, Shivakumar confirmed that the government has identified a suitable land parcel and will reveal full details soon. "We have finalised land for a new stadium in Bengaluru. The proposed capacity is 60,000 seats. More information will be shared shortly," he said, speaking to reporters.
