Keeping Pigeons at Home Declared Illegal: Livestock Department to Seize Birds and Take Action

The Livestock Department has announced that keeping and breeding pigeons in residential areas is now illegal. Citizens are advised to keep pigeons only in designated spaces such as farms, traditional estates, or rural properties.

Authorities emphasize that the new policy aims to maintain cleanliness, prevent health hazards, and regulate pigeon breeding in urban settings. Residents are urged to comply with the regulations to avoid fines or further legal action.
