Mumbai, Aug 9 (PTI) A man was booked on Saturday for feeding pigeons from a grain-filled tray kept on the roof of his car in Mumbai's Dadar area, a police official said. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's decision to ban public feeding of pigeons in view of health hazards associated with the practice and close 'kabutarkhanas' has led to a controversy. People who feed pigeons have challenged the civic body's decision in the Bombay High Court. The Bombay High Court on Thursday said it had not passed any order directing the closure of 'kabutarkhanas' (pigeon-feeding spots) in the city, but only refrained from staying the closure order of the municipal corporation.

Savage attack: Pack of stray dogs maul 5-year-old in Trimurti Nagar
1 2 Nagpur: What was supposed to be a carefree evening turned into a brutal ordeal for 5-year-old Nitya Mongre, who was mauled by a pack of 8-10 stray dogs outside her home in Deshpande Layout, Trimurti Nagar, around 5 pm on Friday. The child, a daughter of daily wager-turned-security guard Shravan Mongre, suffered deep wounds on her neck and shoulders and is battling for recovery at Radhakrishna Hospital. "I was on my way to my hometown Mandla in MP for Rakhi when I got the call. By the time I returned, my daughter was attacked savagely," said a distraught Mongre, who moved to Nagpur just four months ago seeking work. At the time of the attack, the street was nearly deserted. A kirana shop owner spotted the assault and raised an alarm. A passing motorcyclist then rushed in, using his bike to drive away the dogs and rescue the bleeding child. Residents say this is not an isolated incident — attacks by stray dog have become disturbingly common in the city. "The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) collects taxes from us, but what about our safety? If our children can't even step outside without fear, who will take responsibility?" fumed local resident Mayur Kumbhare. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Bedtime Drink Flattened Her Belly in Days Vitalgethealth Click Here Undo Mongre blamed both the unchecked street dog population and the rampant public feeding of strays. "People feed them milk, bread, biscuits, and chapatis right on the roadside. The dogs gather in large packs and attack passersby. There should be penalties for such irresponsible feeding of strays," he said. The Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme — intended to sterilise and vaccinate stray dogs — is crawling at a snail's pace, leaving thousands of unsterilised animals roaming the streets. Complaints to civic authorities continue to pile up with little visible action. The incident has sparked fresh demands for urgent intervention — from aggressive sterilisation drives and stricter pet ownership rules to banning public feeding of strays in unsafe areas. "We don't want another family to go through this trauma," Mongre said. NMC veterinary officer Dr Gajendra Mahalle told TOI a team was dispatched to the area soon after the incident, and two stray dogs from the pack were captured on Saturday morning. "We have initiated preventive measures to curb the menace in the locality," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
