The Indian Premier League (IPL) matches scheduled to be held at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will be unaffected by the prevailing acute water crisis. It was speculated that the matches would be shifted out of Bengaluru.
According to a press release, the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board has agreed to supply treated water from the sewage treatment plant located inside Cubbon Park for the matches.
On Wednesday, members of the Karnataka State Cricket Association met BWSSB Chairman V. Ramprasath Manohar on Wednesday and requested him to supply treated water from STP in Cubbon Park.
