Maharashtra CM opposes sudden closure of pigeon feeding areas

The government in Mumbai is discussing what to do about places where people feed pigeons, called 'kabutarkhanas'.

The leader of the government, Devendra Fadnavis, doesn't want these places closed right away.

He thinks it's important to protect the birds, keep the environment healthy, and keep people safe.

He wants to make sure the pigeons have food until a better solution is found.

The city has already fined some people for feeding the pigeons.
