The Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has issued an internal directive, instructing its employees to cease the use of plastic water bottles within its premises. The order notes the observation of staff utilizing plastic bottles for daily water consumption and emphasizes the environmental and public health risks associated with single-use plastics. Employees are encouraged to adopt sustainable alternatives, such as metal, bamboo, or glass bottles, to reduce plastic waste and reinforce the committee’s commitment to environmental protection. This action aligns with a broader initiative, following the Delhi government’s 2022 ban on single-use plastic items within the Delhi Secretariat.
