MYSURU — In an effort to protect the world-famous Mysore Palace from damage caused by pigeon droppings, local authorities have imposed a ban on feeding pigeons near the monument. The Mysore Palace, which attracts more visitors than the Taj Mahal, has suffered from the adverse effects of pigeon droppings, including potential damage to the structure, competition with other bird species, and health risks from respiratory issues.

Authorities are urged to address these issues promptly to ensure compliance and protect the integrity of the historic site.
