Beware of the Monkeys

In my time in India, I've heard some crazy stories about monkeys, including a story from Ani about monkeys in his house (see Monkey Business), but the latest one might be the craziest of all.

Over the weekend the Deputy Mayor of New Delhi was attacked by monkeys while on his terrace. In his attempt to escape from them, he fell over the balcony. And unfortunately, yesterday he succumbed to the head injuries he sustained.

People acknowledge that monkeys are a problem. And although there have been initiatives to capture monkeys and remove them from the streets, people are scared of them and little action is taken.
