Days after mid-day reported about environment activists raising concerns about citizens feeding harmful snacks to seagulls at Marine Drive, the Mangroves Cell has posted guards at the site to prevent these incidents.

An official from Mangroves Cell of the Forest Department said, "We don't want the people to feed farsan to the seagulls as it has a negative impact on the health of the birds. We are creating awareness among the walkers. Maharashtra Security Force guards too, have been posted to stop people from feeding the birds."
