A controversy has erupted with the Bombay Parsi Panchayat (BPP) chairman Yazdi Desai reportedly requesting the Bhikha Behram Well trustees to not invite BPP trustee Noshir Dadrawala as a guest speaker at the Humbandagi on Ava Roj function on October 25, as he is a known reformist.

Praying together

The event, which marks 10 years on Friday, means praying together. For a single day every month the Parsi community congregates at the SoBo well near Churchgate and Cross Maidan to pray together. This is usually followed by a talk by a priest, religious scholars or any other person held in esteem by the community.
