Maharashtra Orders Mumbai to Shut Down Pigeon Feeding Points

The government of Maharashtra has told Mumbai's city government to close down places where people feed pigeons, called 'kabootar khanas'.

This is because the waste from the pigeons can cause health problems.

Some politicians spoke about this issue, highlighting the dangers.

The city government will soon start educating people about why feeding pigeons can be harmful and has already closed some feeding spots.

They also mentioned that pigeons are eating unhealthy foods like pizza and burgers.

The famous Dadar 'kabootar khana' was shut down for two days but it started again after people kept on feeding pigeons.

The city has created gardens where these 'kabootar khanas' existed.
