Months after the controversy between the residents of Mumbai and civic authorities in view of pigeon feeding, a court has convicted a businessman and directed him to pay a fine of Rs 5,000 for feeding pigeons in a public place. The Mumbai court, while ruling out the order, said that his act was “likely to spread infections of diseases dangerous to life.”
The order came months after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation banned the feeding of pigeons in most parts of the city, citing public nuisance and health hazards to people.
