Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan's boat ride on the Ganga river in UP's Varanasi has landed the boatman in trouble. Dhawan was seen in photographs, feeding birds during a boat ride.
While no action has been taken against the tourist, the boatman has been barred from taking his boat to the river for three days.
"It was made clear by the police and the administration to the boatmen that they should not allow the tourists on their boat to feed the birds. Whosoever flouted these rules will be served notice and they will be asked as to why their license should not be cancelled. No action will be taken against the tourists," he said.
The state government has banned the feeding of birds by tourists in the wake of the bird flu scare.
