Animal specially monkeys going out of control in residence area

Monkey catcher: These cheeky animals invade cities, destroying gardens, and ripping clothes. A permanent solution is still in the works.

The Northern Railways, a local resident and an apex institution all have one thing in common: They all use a tamed langoor to scare away aggressive monkeys.

Residents are worried about the recent attacks of rampaging monkeys in the area. The Indira Nagar monkey catcher control center at the forest department receives calls almost every day.

"There aren't many days without calls. "Marauding monkeys have been harassing people all over the country, whether it's Indira Nagar or Aliganj, Gomti Nagar or Mahanagar," stated Ayodhyaprasad, senior forest officer in Lucknow division.

The cell receives the most complaints about monkeys and snakes, and the fewest about crocodiles.

Kamal, a gardening enthusiast, said that monkeys can uproot flowers and eat roots. They also leave behind mud, broken pot, and ravaged plants.

These aggressive beasts will also raid kitchens to steal food. Before they leave, they scatter the litter on the roof or balcony. Rashmi, a Vinay Khand resident, said that the worst thing about them is their tendency to tear clothes from outside. She said that the monkey population is growing and they are causing problems for residents in search of food, as they cannot find it elsewhere.

The question of existence

Experts believe that monkeys have been able to live with humans for thousands of years. Although they are considered wild animals, their existence is close to humankind. They may be found on trees, eating fruit but there are few fruit-bearing trees left. This is why they tend to wander around looking for food. As the leader of the pack, entering kitchens is a natural instinct. This is where food is kept.

The solution

It is common for a call to go to the forest department. The staff arrives to capture the monkeys. The staff will release the animals to another location so they don't bother humans. Three big forests are available for this purpose, with Kukrail forest being the closest. Other forest areas include Mohanlalganj and Sarojinagar.

These areas have a large human population, so simians often live in houses in Kukrail and Sarojinagar forest areas. They travel to nearby villages for food, and if they don't have enough, they will travel far to open refrigerators in buildings.

"The situation is such, that if we leave monkeys alone in a forest area for a single time, it will be impossible to do so again. Ayodhya Prasad stated that if we return with more monkeys, there will be at most 50 villagers in the area to prevent us from doing it again. This is because monkeys can invade their homes after we have left them there.

Because monkeys reproduce every six months and their population is rapidly growing, Their pack size increases from four to five monkeys in one year to more than a dozen the second.
