Rampant! Monkey Troops Occupy Government Buildings, Officials Flee in Disarray
According to the UK's Daily Star on March 6th, Indian monkeys 'occupied' government offices, climbing through windows and disrupting officials' work. Some officials were forced to flee their offices in desperation. Now, government workers are making self-made slings to drive away the monkeys'
Recently, groups of monkeys have occupied the offices of the Department of Civil Affairs of the Municipal Government in Northern Punjab and Haryana
Security personnel at the scene said that these monkeys entered offices through balconies, disrupting officials' work. Before a solution was found, they could only rely on self-made slings to protect themselves
According to India's Quick News Report: 'The offices of the Municipal Government in Punjab and Haryana, including the offices of the Chief Ministers, Cabinet Ministers and Senior Officials, have been taken over by monkeys. These monkeys are very irritable, and staff cannot look them in the eye to avoid angering them'
Officials from the Indian Central Rapid Force (CISF) called for the government to hire full-time monkey catchers, saying: 'Driving away monkeys is not the responsibility of the Indian Central Rapid Force. Using slings to drive away monkeys is very dangerous, and bullets are likely to injure innocent bystanders. The best solution is for the government to hire monkey catchers'
However, traditional monkey-driving methods may no longer work. Last year, the government of Punjab wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Forest and Wildlife Protection Association, hoping they would arrange two wildlife rescue personnel to scare away the invading langurs, but these cunning langurs quickly realized the trick
Wildlife Protection Vice Chairman Abdul Dr. said: 'The lack of human resources makes it impossible to implement the plan to recruit police to deal with monkeys. Our team only has 12 people, and it is very difficult to cover 40 patrol points in the city'
Abdul believes that food garbage attracted these monkeys
The rapid urbanization of India has greatly reduced the natural habitat of langurs, causing langurs to invade human territory
In January, more than 400 langurs invaded a village in India. The homes and lands of 20 households of villagers were occupied by monkeys, and the villagers were occasionally attacked by monkeys, and finally had to move
It is reported that Indian monkeys are protected by law, although the problem of monkey infestation makes people feel troubled, but people cannot dispose of them arbitrarily
