In a statement, the LOC said: "We know that there were issues with the distribution of water for the first match day of the FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017 in New Delhi."
"There was a provision made by the stadium, as providing drinking water is the responsibility of the facility owner, but there was a lapse on the distribution" the statement read.
The Committee also vowed to work hard to remove the problem from the next matches in the tournament.
"We will be working as hard as possible with all facility owners to ensure that drinking water is readily available for all spectators from here on" the LOC said.
