Protesters have demanded that the kabutarkhana should be reopened, warning that if not, they would opt for the NOTA (None of the above) option in the coming civic elections.
Even after the planned protest was called off, several protesters carrying knives arrived at the kabutarkhana around 11 am the following day.
After tearing the tarpaulin cover installed by the BMC, people who were protesting began feeding pigeons.
Cops intervene after the tarpaulin of the tent atop the feeding spot is torn; agitators insist that feeding pigeons shouldn’t be considered an offence. However, the situation around the Dadar kabutarkhana still looks cryptic.
