Letter Published in Deccan Herald Bengaluru on 18 December 25 The Argentine football player’s three-day visit to Kolkata for the statue unveiling, however, turned into a disappointing and unacceptable incident. Chaos broke out in the stadium due to overcrowding and poor crowd management, which led to the event being dispersed. This was unfortunate both for Messi and for his fans. Incidents like this should be avoided in the future. Proper planning, effective crowd control, and strong security measures are essential for such high-profile events. State governments and event organizers must take responsibility to ensure the safety of people and provide a secure environment for both celebrities and fans. K.Ragavan Bengaluru
