Indira Gandhi Stadium Upgraded with Wildlife Controls Ahead of BWF World Championships
Ahead of the BWF World Championships in New Delhi, organisers have extensively upgraded the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium to prevent issues seen during the India Open earlier this year. Measures include sealing vents, installing double-door entry systems, applying non-toxic gels to deter birds, and using machines that mimic predatory bird calls. Additionally, professional monkey whisperers have been hired to manage wildlife. Structural repairs, improved lighting, and new seating have also been completed to ensure a smooth, world-class event starting August 17.
