The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) H West ward office is likely to probe a trust which was tasked with beautifying a traffic island in Khar, which became a kabootar khana. The civic body has declared the kabootar khana illegal and wants it to be shut down as it is being seen as a threat to public hygiene. But some residents from the area have alleged that the BMC's move is leading to pigeons dying of hunger and being run over by vehicles as they have no place to go.
