Monkey enters reading room of Parliament and leaves after half an hour through VIP gate

An adult monkey sneaked into the Parliament for a sudden visit and entered the Parliament House library adjoining the Central Hall. From there, it found its way into the reading room meant for MPs and journalists and roamed around for half an hour before leaving.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 29 July 2016.

The monkey jumped on the tables and climbed up electrical wires in the gallery area and again climbed down and unable to locate the exit from the library, it made its way out of the main door and through the green-carpeted corridor. It was there for nearly half an hour and finally left by the main gate of the building on the side meant for VIPs.
The hapless library staff contacted Parliament security but there was no help forthcoming because there was no way to catch such monkeys in the absence of a langoor. These had been deployed earlier to deal with the recurring monkey menace but, in June, their services were terminated.
The langoors had been employed to chase away monkeys in parts of Lutyens' Delhi. Sources in the Lok Sabha secretariat have revealed that monkeys are reappearing in the premises of the Parliament since langoors took their last pay and bid goodbye.
