The match pits RCB against Gujarat Titans, and with celebrations expected to surge across the city as RCB aim for a second championship, authorities have moved to curb crowding and prevent public safety lapses.<\/p>\n<h2>Key takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bengaluru Police have urged fans not to assemble in public spaces for celebrations right after the final result.<\/li>\n<li>Unapproved LED screens facing public roads are banned, along with live match screenings in public-view areas.<\/li>\n<li>Firecrackers and other hazardous materials will not be allowed during celebrations.<\/li>\n<li>Bike rallies, stunt riding, overspeeding, road blockades, and unnecessary honking are specifically targeted for enforcement.<\/li>\n<li>Public alcohol consumption, fights, indecent conduct, and provocative social media posts have been discouraged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What the advisory says about celebrations after the final<\/h2>\n<p>The police advisory directed citizens to avoid gathering in public areas immediately following the outcome of the final. It also restricted the use of LED screens directed towards roads unless prior approval has been obtained.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities further prohibited public live screenings outside venues such as malls, pubs, or other establishments if those broadcasts are visible to the general public. The police also issued a clear warning that firecrackers and hazardous items will be banned during the post-match festivities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Bengaluru Police flagged multiple crowd-disrupting behaviours, including bike rallies, stunts, overspeeding, and road blockades. The advisory also called out unnecessary honking and traffic disturbances, warning that strict action would be taken against violators.<\/p>\n<p>Citizens were told to refrain from consuming alcohol in public places and to avoid creating disturbances, getting into fights, or behaving indecently during celebrations. Police also cautioned people against spreading provocative material, rumours, or hateful messages on social platforms.<\/p>\n<h2>Call for cooperation and maintaining public order<\/h2>\n<p>The notice appealed to supporters to avoid targeting or mocking rival-team fans, noting that such conduct can quickly escalate into confrontations. Bengaluru Police said that maintaining safety, peace, and law and order during a high-profile final is a shared responsibility, and fans were urged to celebrate in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also instructed malls, pubs, and other establishments not to organise live screenings in zones where the general public can view them. The overall message from Bengaluru Police is to keep celebrations controlled and lawful, given the tragic incident that occurred during RCB\u2019s IPL 2025 title celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>RCB vs Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2026 final is scheduled for Sunday, and fans are encouraged to stay updated with live match coverage and the latest IPL news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly a year after a deadly stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium claimed 11 lives during Royal Challengers Bengaluru\u2019s IPL 2025
