A security official attached to the stadium confirmed in the report that the herdsmen have been grazing in the complex for a year.
The reports state that the herdsmen armed with dangerous weapons have overpowered security men attached to the stadium.
Over the months, the main bowl of the stadium has been used for religious and cultural activities while some parts have been occupied by beggars.
Pulse Sports can confirm that herdsmen do take their cows to graze around the stadium.
