Key Learning and Recommendations
• The cleaning services contract for larger venues such as the
Games Village, Jawaharlal Nehru Complex and Indira Gandhi
Sports Complex should have been restricted to not more than
one service provider
• Drinking water dispensers should have been used in the stadia
rather than bottles to reduce generation of bottle waste
• A waste disposal policy must be formulated well in time to
bring clarity to disposal management of all categories of waste
and assignment of roles to different agencies for this
