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.

Parliament to be covered by 'Operation Golden Nose' to sniff out terrorists

Sniffer dogs are used to sniff out undesirable material and men at crowded places like airports and these specially trained canines are an invaluable help to law enforcement agencies. Therefore, in order to ensure safety of the parliament and its people, the Ministry of Home Affairs has approved the deployment of crack canine dog. This has been named 'Operation Golden Nose' and its main purpose is to prevent terror attack on Parliament.
This has been reported in zeennews.india.com dated 17 July 2016.

At present there are multiple ring security system in place in the Parliament but, in spite of existing methods, the possibility of somebody sneaking in explosives in innocuous articles and placing it in areas like under the tables or in flower pots, cannot be ruled out. Hence, these highly trained crack canines are necessary. These canines are trained to identify if someone has even touched an explosive.
These dogs belong to the ITBP and, they have reportedly been requested by the Parliament Security Services (PSS) to deploy their crack K9 units. These ITBP dogs are believed to be one of the most highly trained in the world and the US Navy Seals had selected them to assist in protecting US President Barack Obama during his visit to India last year.
