To end the menace of monkeys at the railway stations of Agra, pictures of langurs have been put up at the stations. Troubled by the menace of monkeys at Agra Cantt, Agra Fort and Raja Ki Mandi railway stations, the Railways has come up with this unique method and hopes to get relief from the menace of monkeys.
In Agra, people are very upset due to the terror of monkeys at tourist places, old urban areas and railway stations. Monkeys sometimes bite passengers at railway stations to snatch their food and drink. On Wednesday, the RPF constable patrolling at Raja Ki Mandi station was attacked and injured by monkeys. PRO Railway Prashasti Srivastava told that the Forest Department and the Municipal Corporation work together to prevent monkeys. At present, to get rid of the problem of monkeys, pictures of langurs and cutouts of their size have been installed at Agra stations.
Let us tell you that in the past, the Railways has hired langurs on contract. But, after the intervention of animal-loving organizations, the Railways had removed the langurs. To get rid of monkeys in Agra, Torrent Power has put up cutouts of langurs at its offices to drive away monkeys.
