New Delhi: The AIIMS here will set up a bottling facility in its premises to supply clean drinking water packaged in reusable glass bottles for use at its meetings, conferences and events, in a step to reduce environmental impact of disposable plastic bottles.
The Centre has issued directives to cut down use of plastics and the move is a step in that direction.
"Recognising the pressing need to shift away from single-use plastics in meetings, conferences, and other events, AIIMS New Delhi is dedicated to providing an eco-friendly alternative for acquiring hygienic packaged drinking water," Dr M Srinivas, Director of AIIMS Delhi, said.
