Really sad and unfortunate. Maharashtra Forest Department staff the some of the nicest and most hardworking people I've had the priviledge to work with. 🙏
Susanta Nanda IFS (Retd)@susantananda3

Pray for this martyr who laid down his life to protect our forest today🙏🙏 Vijay Shinganjude died in the line of duty due to burn injuries sustained while attempting to control forest fire in Yavatmal district of Maharashtra. My deepest prayers for the frontline green soldier.

What is that terrible smell across Vikhroli to Bhandup?! It wasn't there before. Where is this city headed!

@GeethaSrimathi @the_hindu I'm not, but the website says, once logged in, one can unlock one premium article per month. Hasn't been working for me, though.

The air in Mumbai is a nice grey colour today. Post apocalypse is here.

Does anyone care about the air quality in Mumbai at all? This is what the Main Avenue junction on Linking Road, Bandra looks like all day. @mybmc are there no rules to curb air pollution during a building demolition? What are the AQI monitors on construction sites for?

Nowhere in the world would the head of a state's ministry of forests agree to move 75% of the state's wild leopard population into a privately owned zoo. There's no other explaination other than our elected leaders being utterly asinine or complicit. Not sure which is worse!

This is an outrageous and cruel response to man-animal conflict, in this case leopards in Western Maharashtra. You cannot round up 1500 leopards and send them to a ‘rescue-centre’ ‘zoo’ facility. I sincerely hope it’s not approved. Need more thought on how to best handle the conflict

Freudian slip of the year. Remove all the green, not the trash. Well done, moefcc.

Did you know mangroves could look like this? It’s also how Mumbai’s mangroves should be like. Mangroves don’t naturally have black water, like ours do. What we have is a result of crores spent on mangrove plantations and next to nothing on improving water quality.

I always love healthy coral reef and I love Mangroves. Here both are together and I reach the heaven. #Rajaampat #Indonasia #coralreef #rhisophora #underwater @sonyalphain #createwithsony

This is sad to see. But as someone on Reddit very succintly said: It is not actually about the pigeons but rather them being upset that a tradition can be challenged. Pigeons are just a cover for it. I hope sense prevails soon and these kabootarkhanas are razed to the ground.
Mid Day@mid_day

Members of the Jain community gathered at Mumbai’s Dadar Kabutarkhana to protest the BMC’s closure of the popular pigeon feeding site. The demonstration escalated as protestors dismantled the plastic and bamboo structures installed by civic authorities to enforce a court-ordered ban. The incident prompted police intervention and underscored the ongoing conflict between religious practices and public health concerns. 📸: Sayyad Sameer Abedi #Mumbai #DadarKabutarkhana #JainCommunity #Protest #BMC #MumbaiNews
