CM gives assurance regarding pigeon houses in Mumbai.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured to bring the elephant back to Kolhapur and find a solution regarding pigeon houses in Mumbai.

Orders to close pigeon houses given health problems

Given the health problems faced by the local people due to more than 50 pigeon houses running in Mumbai, the government had earlier given instructions to close all pigeon houses.

The way for pigeons to come and feed was closed

As a result, BMC closed the way for pigeons to come and feed there by putting plastic sheets on all the big pigeon houses in the metropolis.

But meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, a large number of feeders gathered near the Dadar pigeon house and started feeding the animals there by removing the plastic sheet put by the BMC on the pigeon house.

People started arguing with the BMC employees.

People also started arguing with the BMC employees present there, and then the police had to intervene and restore peace. Eyewitnesses say that there were more people from the Jain community among the protesters. But the Jain monastery has denied this.

The monastery says that they are people who follow law and order. Since this matter is in court, they will wait for the court's decision on Monday.

Similarly, the entire Kolhapur city is agitated against taking an elephant of Nandini Math of the Jain community to the animal rescue center 'Vantara' in Jamnagar.

Vantara's staff came to Kolhapur and took Madhuri to Jamnagar.

Last week, on the orders of the Supreme Court, Vantara's staff came to Kolhapur and took Madhuri to Jamnagar. But protests continued while Madhuri was being taken from Kolhapur and even after that. A 45 km long protest march was taken out under the leadership of former MP Raju Shetty.

People are surrendering their Jio mobile numbers in protest.

Vantara is associated with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Group, so as a protest, many people of Kolhapur have surrendered their Jio mobile numbers and have started taking SIM cards of other companies.

Given the protests, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had to intervene. Fadnavis has said that the state government will go to the Supreme Court to bring Madhuri back to Nandini Math.
