Mumbai Court Permits FIRs Against Pigeon Feeding

Mumbai Court Permits FIRs Against Pigeon Feeding

The Bombay High Court has told the city of Mumbai to start filing official reports (FIRs) against people who feed pigeons in public places.

This is because feeding pigeons is seen as a public nuisance and a health risk.

Although the court has previously said the city can't tear down the old pigeon feeding spots, it also said that feeding the pigeons is not allowed.

Despite this, people are still feeding the birds, which has led the court to take this action to protect public health.
