The
police used light batons on the
cricket fans in
chepauk to regulate the crowd. Also,
women clamored to buy tickets and there was commotion. The IPL
cricket match between
chennai Super Kings and
mumbai Indians will take place tomorrow (Saturday) at the Chepakkam
cricket Stadium in Chennai. The ticket sale for this match was held yesterday morning at MA
chidambaram ground in Chepakkam. Fans had been waiting despite the rain since last night to buy tickets.
In this case, the ticket sale started yesterday morning and was going on briskly. Fans were waiting in long queues to buy tickets. Then some trespassed and tried to enter the queue. Even when the
police stopped them, they did not listen. So the
police chased them away with a light baton. Also, the fans who pushed and shoved in the queue were lightly caned.
There was also a crowd of
women in the queue to buy tickets. Two
people, including a student, fainted in the crowd. An ambulance was immediately called and they were taken to the hospital. The
police were unable to control the crowd of women. More
people with disabilities also came to buy tickets. It is said that the
police kept the disabled
people out of the line-up so as not to get injured due to the huge crowd of fans.
Enraged by this, differently-abled
people protested against the
police and started a road blockade. Later the
police negotiated and pacified them. Due to these incidents, Chepakkam area was very busy yesterday.
