Days after agitators removed a tarpaulin cover from a 'kabutarkhana' (pigeon feeding spot) in Mumbai's Dadar area, the city civic body has again covered it with plastic sheets, officials said on Monday, reported news agency PTI.

Security has been beefed up in the area to prevent any law and order issues and deter people from feeding the birds, they said, reported PTI.

On August 6, a large number of protesters removed the tarpaulin cover, put up by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) at the Dadar kabutarkhana to discourage the practice of feeding grains to pigeons, and also clashed with police.
