New Delhi, July 26 -- Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy stadium has been deemed "unsuitable and unsafe for mass gathering" by the Justice John Michael D'Cunha Commission appointed by the Karnataka Government. The statement comes as some big ticket matches are scheduled to be held at the venue later in the year including the Women's World Cup matches.

The one man commission was setup by the Karnataka government earlier in the year after a stampede had killed 11 fans and injured many others as fans had gone to the venue to take part in Royal Challengers Bengaluru's IPL winning celebrations.
