The pigeon is that type of bird; wherever it goes, it eliminates all other birds. It completely destroys the entire ecosystem.
The pigeon is the only bird that has adapted itself to urban life. Pigeons have stopped being afraid of humans. They lay eggs anywhere. Pigeons lay eggs in large numbers and gradually increase their population to such an extent that all other birds begin to disappear. Since the birds that prey on pigeons in the ecosystem, such as hawks and eagles, have become very few or almost non-existent, pigeons are multiplying rapidly.
While other birds are becoming extremely rare or even extinct due to the terror and menace of pigeons. Moreover, pigeons have spread several dangerous diseases to humans and animals. Recently, a person died in Surat and Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and when the investigation revealed that the death was caused by a pigeon, everyone was shocked.
Several diseases can be spread by pigeons, including histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, psittacosis, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Incidentally, the pigeon is not a native Indian bird; it came to India from Africa and has completely taken over, driving other birds to extinction.
The Jain community, which has been campaigning for years to feed pigeons in Mumbai, needs to understand that it is more important to save thousands of native Indian birds like cuckoos, sparrows, mynas, bulbuls, parrots, kingfishers, and lapwings, which are disappearing from cities and towns.
Update on CUET (UG) 2026 — 30 May, Shift 1
Earlier today, some centres faced a technical glitch that delayed the start of Shift 1. We know this was stressful, and we're sorry for the anxiety it caused.
The technical service provider, TCS iON, has been asked to conduct a root-cause analysis and submit its report immediately.
Most candidates (about 95%) were able to complete their exam once it resumed.
We understand that 3,765 candidates who were present and had completed biometric registration chose to leave before the exam could restart.
For these candidates, NTA will hold a rescheduled examination as a one-time measure.
The new date and details will be announced separately.
