Expert Panel To Look Into Pigeon Feeding In Mumbai, Says High Court
An expert committee will be formed to look into the issue of feeding pigeons in public and the ban on feeding will continue till the committee report is in, the Bombay High Court said today, pointing out that it is the responsibility of the Brihanmumbai Corporation to protect the health of citizens.
The committee can study whether the old Kabutarkhanas in the city should continue, but "human life is of paramount importance", it said. "If something affects the larger health of senior citizens and kids, then it should be looked into. There has to be a balance," said the bench of Justices G S Kulkarni and Arif Doctor.
