Addressing the Monkey Issue in Delhi Assembly



With the rising population of monkeys causing disturbances in the Delhi Assembly, the government is set to implement measures to ensure the safety of MLAs, staff, and visitors. The Delhi government plans to hire specialized personnel to deter monkeys from the premises. The Public Works Department (PWD) has already released a tender for this initiative. These recruits will be trained to imitate langur calls to effectively scare away the monkeys, especially with the winter session approaching.


The presence of monkeys has been a longstanding issue at the Delhi Assembly, where they often gather in groups, disrupting activities and raising security alarms. This prompted the government to adopt a more professional approach to manage the situation.


New Strategies for Monkey Management


The winter session of the Delhi Assembly is expected to commence between January 5th and 8th, attracting a significant number of MLAs, officials, and visitors. To prevent any interruptions, the PWD has initiated a tender for hiring individuals skilled in mimicking langur sounds to effectively drive away the monkeys.


PWD officials have stated that the hired personnel will work eight-hour shifts from Monday to Saturday, stationed within the Assembly complex to promptly address any monkey-related incidents. Previously, langur statues were placed in the Assembly to deter monkeys, but they have proven ineffective, as the monkeys tend to sit on them rather than flee.
