Varanasi: 25 Jan 21 Cricketer Shikhar Dhawan’s post sharing a photo of him feeding birds during a boat ride in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi has landed the boatman in trouble. The city’s administration has said the boatman will be charged as there are restrictions in times of bird flu.Sharing photos of the boat ride on Instagram, Shikhar Dhawan had commented: “Happiness is feeding birds.” Varanasi district magistrate Kaushal Raj Sharma was quoted by news agency ANI as saying that action would be taken against boatmen who did not follow the administration’s guidelines and allowed tourists on their boats to feed birds amid bird flu. He also made it clear that the tourists – in this case Shikhar Dhawan – would not face any action.
