The Corporation of Chennai has resealed three stands of M A Chidambaram stadium on Thursday.

The
move comes in the wake of Supreme Court intervention to open the stands
for the match between Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils on May
14.

The Supreme Court has allowed the stands — I, J and K — to
be opened for the one match stating that tickets had already been sold
and it would create law and order problem if people were not allowed to
get in to watch the match.

The newly constructed stands were
sealed as they were built without permission. “There have been some
setback violations and some structures had to be demolished. If they
comply with all the regulations, then officials will have no objection
in giving clearance certificate,” sources said.

The Chennai
Corporation had on May 12 sealed the three stands stating that TNCA has
yet to get planning permission and building approval. The sealing came
after the Supreme Court stayed the February 6 order of the Madras High
Court. The High Court had earlier set aside orders which restrained TNCA
from using the stands in the stadium.
