Feeders said many cats have been left by people in the garden recently
The Matunga police have written to the F North ward office to not relocate cats from the Maheshwari Udyan, pointing out that it is illegal. The police had received complaints from animal feeders, who also registered a non-cognisable offence against a group of senior citizens who had complained against the cats.
A group of 60 senior citizens who do not want cats inside the garden had written to the civic body that the felines coming in their path made them trip. Earlier, the garden had only five-six cats. Now it has 30-35 cats. Animal feeders said the BMC alone is responsible for it, as it is not acting on sterilising street cats.
