Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) in Maharashtra has aimed to spread public awareness about hypersensitive pneumonia, a lung disease which is contracted by living in close proximity to pigeons.
They have put up several posters that pigeon-associated hypersensitive pneumonia is on the rise in Mumbai and Pune and people with a pre-existing lung condition are 60-65 per cent more likely to fall prey to the disease. No such posters have been put up in Mumbai so far.
