Residents take langoor's help to fight monkeys
 |
A monkey to fight monkeys: that's what residents of Sector 29 did when the simian menace got out of hand. As the rule of the monkeys was increasingly getting out of hand and the MCF was not waking up of its slumber, residents decided enough was enough and decided to take the matter into their own hands. And for second time, the residents hired a langoor to get scare away to fight other monkeys.
RWA general secretary Subodh Nagapal said, "Nine months back, a monkey who was mentally ill and also could not hear entered the sector and bit 21 people. So we kept a langoor. The monkey was trapped and moved out of the sector with a lot of difficulty. Now again, monkeys have started coming and we are left with no other option but to keep a langoor on our own. We will take Rs 50 each from the residents."
Beni Ram, a resident of the sector said, "The monkeys have bitten many people in the sector. They break the covers of water tanks, gas pipes, flower pots and even enter the houses, open the fridge and throw away all the food. With the help of the RWA, a langoor is kept and there is some relief. The langoor was brought on July 1 and since then, the number of monkeys has decreased. We have complained to the MCF in writing many times yet they do not take any action. Rather, when we go and tell them about our problem, they start telling us about their problem and say that they do not have sufficient manpower. So we residents have to take the action."
Poonam Jindal, another resident of the sector said, "The monkey bit me on June 26 and I am still undergoing medication. I will have to take five injections. It is very painful. These monkeys created such a nuisance in the sector that we were living in terror. They climb on the terrace and tear the clothes, enter houses and open the fridges. In the evenings, they even come to the parks." |
