Part of Kanpur’s Green Park stadium deemed unsafe before 2nd Test
Three days before the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium, the Uttar Pradesh Public Works Department (PWD) has deemed one of the stands dangerous. The government officials felt that the structure may not be able to take the load of the full capacity of the stand during the match and could come down. As a result, less than half the capacity of the Balcony C stand will be up for sale during the Test.
“The PWD has raised some issues and we have agreed that we will not sell all the tickets of Balcony C,” UPCA CEO Ankit Chatterjee told The Indian Express. “We have been told to sell only 1700 tickets for the stand, which has a capacity of 4,800. The repair work will continue for the next couple of days,” he added.
According to PWD officials, there is a big risk if a sizable crowd assembles in that particular part of the stadium. On Tuesday, a group of engineers spent nearly six hours at the Balcony C stand. They have warned the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) to close the stand during the match starting on Friday.
