death of a senior Indian official.
Media reports say the deputy mayor of New Delhi was on the
balcony of his home when he was attacked by a gang of Rhesus
macaques causing him to fall. He was rushed to the hospital but died of head injuries.
Many government buildings, temples and residential neighborhoods
in New Delhi are overrun by Rhesus macaques. Devout Hindus believe
the monkeys are manifestations of a monkey god and feed them
bananas and peanuts. That has encouraged the monkeys to frequent
public places, and bite or snatch food from unsuspecting visitors.
Last year, the Delhi High Court reprimanded city authorities for
not stopping the animals and asked them to find a permanent
solution. City authorities have employed monkey catchers who use a
larger and fiercer kind of monkey to scare and catch the macaques.
But that hasn't stopped the problem.
