Monkey attack in Gurgaon make life miserable for residents

There has been a spate of monkey attacks on residents of Gurgaon with at least 20 cases of monkey bites or related injuries over the past couple of weeks.
A child was bitten by a monkey while playing in a park and many complaints have been coming out from condominiums on Golf Course Road, Gurgaon-Garidabad Road and several sectors in recent weeks. In one case, a group of monkeys entered an apartment through the balcony. The monkey menace is making life miserable for one and all.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 17 August 2015.

Monkey menace in some cities in India are common because these simians come to the cities in search of food – the reason is that man has stolen their natural habitats. Loss of neem, ber and shahtoot trees forced the monkeys to enter cities. Moreover, due to religious beliefs, some people feed them on certain days and, as a result, the simians keep coming to residential areas for food.
Guards in some of the societies are equipped with sticks to deal with monkeys.
