The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has officially prohibited the use of single-use plastic bottles at its sports facilities across the city. This policy change is a component of a larger, month-long cleanliness drive aimed at improving hygiene and environmental standards within public recreational spaces.

To support the transition away from plastic bottles, the DDA has installed water dispensers throughout these complexes, allowing visitors to refill reusable containers. Additionally, the authority has introduced a new waste management system, featuring separate bins for wet and dry waste, to encourage better disposal habits among athletes and visitors. While the initiative is framed as a step toward a cleaner Delhi, the report focuses primarily on the logistical changes implemented by the DDA rather than the broader environmental impact or the reaction of facility users.
