G20 Summit in Delhi: Deploying langur mimics among authorities' plans to scare off monkeys
New Delhi, Aug 29 (PTI) A band of about 30 to 40 men who can mimic the call of a langur and lifesize cutouts of the distinctive black faced simian at vantage points will be the stratagem to scare away monkeys during the G20 summit in the national capital.
The unchecked population of monkeys has led to their ever-increasing numbers across the city, including in New Delhi areas (Lutyens' Delhi), with the animals loitering around and often attacking and biting people.
In view of this, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) and the Forest Department of the city government have taken steps to ensure that monkeys are not allowed to play spoilsport during the important G20 summit, to be held from September 9-10.
