The Dadar Kabutarkhana, a popular spot for feeding pigeons and a iconic shooting location for the movie 'Parinda', is set to be revived after being shut down.

The Kabutarkhana, which was a favourite among locals and tourists alike, was closed due to various reasons. However, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has now decided to revive the spot.

As part of the revival plan, the BMC will be installing acrylic enclosures to protect the pigeons and provide a safe environment for them. The move is expected to bring back the charm of the Kabutarkhana and make it a popular spot once again.

The BMC's decision to revive the Kabutarkhana is a welcome move for the locals and tourists who have been missing the spot. The installation of acrylic enclosures will not only protect the pigeons but also provide a safe and clean environment for visitors.
