*Need to Discuss Thorough Investigation and Measures to Prevent Such Tragedies in the Future.
Opposition Leader R.Ashok has urged the state government to convene an emergency session of the legislature to discuss the stampede tragedy at Chinnaswamy Stadium.
In a letter to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah,Ashok highlighted that the incident has raised serious questions about public safety,crowd control,and the organization of sports and other events.The tragedy has caused anxiety and concern among the public.
He alleged that lapses in administration,the government’s actions post-incident,and attempts to shield influential individuals have led to widespread doubts.
Ashok claimed that three separate investigations are being conducted to conceal the truth,and helpless officials are being scapegoated,as per public discussions.
He emphasized the need for a comprehensive discussion on measures to prevent such incidents in the future,proposing a three-day emergency session.
The session should address a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the stampede,strengthening crowd control and safety measures at public events, ensuring proper treatment for the injured,providing compensation to affected families,and outlining the state government’s plans to avoid such incidents in the future.
Ashok stated that the emergency session would demonstrate the state government’s commitment to the public and help implement appropriate measures based on lessons learned from the tragedy.
He also urged the government to disclose the causes of the incident to the public and take legal action against those responsible.
