IPL champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru took to social media to inform their 12th Man Army about a new initiative, RCB Cares. This effort comes in response to the tragic loss of eleven lives during the victory parade on June 4.
The first move under this initiative was the announcement of a ₹25 lakh relief fund for each family that lost their loved one in the stampede. In recent updates, RCB outlined the key pillars of the RCB Cares initiative, which include financial support, improved crowd safety, and a lasting tribute to their 12th Man Army..
