Overview

• Prasad unveiled a KSCA manifesto centered on restoring matches at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium through safety audits, fast-track fixes and closer coordination with government agencies.
• The Justice D’Cunha panel deemed the stadium unfit for large events, leading to police denials and the relocation of the Maharaja Trophy and scheduled Women’s World Cup games.
• The plan proposes a “future-ready” smart stadium and an increase in seating to roughly 50,000, with supporters signaling a push to be ready for IPL 2026.
• KSCA remains without a secretary and treasurer after ES Jairam and A Shankar resigned on moral responsibility following the June 4 stampede that killed 11 and injured dozens.
• Election timing is reported inconsistently, with most outlets pointing to October–November and one report citing August 27, as Prasad’s panel also pitches heritage honors such as naming the ends after Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid.
