NDMC Increases Enforcement and Awareness on Pigeon, Stray Dog, and Monkey Feeding

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has intensified efforts to curb pigeon feeding in public areas by issuing 76 challans between January and March 2026 and conducting regular cleaning drives, following a plea highlighting health risks from pigeon droppings. Additionally, NDMC identified around 100 designated feeding points for stray dogs with installed instruction boards and launched awareness campaigns. Measures to control monkey and cattle feeding include trapping and rehabilitating over 2,000 monkeys and issuing challans against violators, alongside public education initiatives.
