estimated 3000 monkeys catching after child who was attacked by his simian pack died

There are an estimated 3000 monkeys roaming free in the India capital. This is despite the fact that a child who was attacked by his simian pack died. Only after a three year-old boy fell off his terrace, trying desperately to avoid being mauled and beaten by a group of monkeys last Saturday, did the government realize that concerted action was necessary. State Forest Minister, immediately urged his officials to get involved. Monkey catcher team chased monkeys for nearly 48hrs before finally catching two monkeys Tuesday afternoon.

"We managed to trap two monkeys today, and we hope to get more in the next few days," said the divisional forest conservator. Goel was asked about why his monkey-catching team of twelve professionals couldn't reach more success.

"The trapped animals will be set free in the nearby forest so they can't return to urban habitation," he said. Goel said that the menace had reached alarming levels and must be addressed on a warfooting basis. "The municipal corporation had been responsible for monkey catching in delhi, but the menace has grown to such an extent that the administration has given the responsibility to forest and wildlife.

Islamuddin (father of Mohammad Arbaz aged three), has called on the district authorities to save the lives of residents from the unbridled intrusion of monkeys into residential areas. Although his six-year old daughter remains in hospital, she managed to escape from the clutches and death of her brother.

Islamuddin explained that "My children were playing in the old city on the terrace when they were surrounded with a pack monkeys." Other family members and neighbours were called to help after the children's screams. My daughter managed to get down the steps, even though she was bit and bruised by monkeys. But Arbaz, a terrified three-year-old, fell from the terrace and died from his injuries.

There were reports that the monkey plague had been growing in Delhi since a while, but the authorities did not take any concrete steps to stop it. Only Harbans Singh was asked by the monkey catcher near me to capture the monkeys. Singh asserts that Singh has previously trapped 500 monkeys. However, Singh says that Singh's bill for more monkeys was still pending for two years. "So how can you expect me to do any of that?"

The forest department took control of the situation and a team made up of professionals was sent in to assist the people who were already stressed.
