Do this

  1. 1Do not argue in a crowd. Move to a safe place.
  2. 2Record the incident facts: date, time, location, people, exact words, witnesses.
  3. 3Ask in writing for a designated feeding spot meeting instead of a blanket ban.
  4. 4If threatened or assaulted, call police and ask for a complaint acknowledgement.
  5. 5Attach AWBI guidelines and Delhi High Court feeder judgment links when emailing authorities.

Do not

  • Do not feed at building entrances, lifts, children's play areas, or crowded walkways.
  • Do not threaten residents back.
  • Do not sign a compromise that says feeding is illegal.
