Crowd mayhem leads to felling of trees

DAMBULLA: Sunday’s unprecedented crowd chaos at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium, venue of the third ODI between Sri Lanka and Australia has forced the authorities to cut down trees from a certain section of the stadium. Spectators who broke free and entered the stadium most of them without tickets, climbed the trees situated around the playing area to get a bird’s eye view of the match. Some were even perched on top of the giant screen endangering themselves of being electrocuted.
