Delhi grapples with its simian invasion
Just how serious the situation is came to the fore over the weekend when Delhi`s Deputy Mayor, Jeet Singh Baweja, 56, sustained serious head injuries and died after falling off from the terrace of his house when he tried to defend himself against a horde of aggressive monkeys.
The problem has turned into an epidemic.
Delhi Metro has taken measures to prevent monkeys from getting on to their swanky trains. Some officials have suggested that the monkeys be shipped to Central Asia.
A frustrated Delhi High Court, which earlier ordered the authorities to end the monkey menace by June, refused on Monday to revisit the issue. `We are barely able to bring relief to humans. We cannot afford to look into the case of monkeys now,` Chief Justice M K Sharma observed.
