BENGALURU: Permission to host Vijay Hazare Trophy matches scheduled for Wednesday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has been denied, Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said on Tuesday during a press conference. As a result, the Vijay Hazare Trophy match between Delhi and Andhra Pradesh, scheduled for Wednesday, will not be held at the stadium. The Commissioner said permission was denied after a committee comprising officials from the police, Fire and Emergency Services, BESCOM, and the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) conducted an inspection of the stadium on Tuesday. Based on the committee’s report, permission for the match scheduled on Wednesday was denied, he said. However, KSCA has failed to implement any of these recommendations, leading to the denial of permission, a senior police officer said.
