(Big Breaking) The Mumbai Municipal Corporation has recently permitted feeding pigeons at four locations from seven to nine in the morning in a controlled manner. However, the old pigeon houses that were previously closed will remain closed, as informed by Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani. This decision has created tension in the Jain community. Feeding pigeons is a part of their religious and cultural beliefs, firmly stated by Jain monk Nilesh Chandra, who is on a fast at Azad Maidan. A major update on this matter has emerged.

Jain monk Nileshchandra has withdrawn his fast. At this time, after a meeting with Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Narvekar, the fast has been withdrawn. Lodha and Rahul Narvekar have assured that 'the government will find a solution within 15 days'. However, if the promises made are not fulfilled in 15 days, Nilesh Chandramuni is determined to start the fast again.
