Indira Gandhi Stadium Upgraded to Prevent Animal Disruptions Ahead of BWF World Championships
Ahead of the BWF World Championships starting August 17, the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi has undergone extensive upgrades to address issues from the India Open earlier this year. The Sports Authority of India and Badminton Association of India implemented structural improvements, including sealed vents, new double-door systems, and non-toxic gels to deter birds and insects. Additionally, a team of monkey whisperers uses vocal techniques to keep monkeys away. These measures aim to ensure a smooth, world-class event after past disruptions caused by pigeons and stray animals.
