This video has sparked a huge online outrage as this is a public health nightmare and hygiene issue. Some of the users felt there should be a huge fine and the licence should be cancelled and that is the only solution. India are currently playing Namibia and the match is at Arun Jaitley Stadium. This video went viral earlier today and now plenty of fans in the stadium would be worried to buy things from the vendors. It is an unfortunate incident and there has been no official statement or response from DDCA officials regarding this.
Some of the users said that it could be left over and he is collecting it in the bottle for discarding it easily while others pointed that it was packed perfectly and there were not any straws and that these could be resold. If this is the case it puts a huge risk for others.

The video has also gone viral on twitter and other social media platforms and the fans are criticizing the overall hygiene and other minor issues which should have been taken care of. Delhi is set to host a few more matches in this WT20 and fans will hope this issue is not repeated.
