Monkey business in Uttarakhand - Uttar Pradesh dumping its monkeys in Uttarakhand

Uttarakhand is seized with a problem of the increase in its population of monkeys - not a result of better reproduction facilities but due to interference of its neighbor state. The fact of the matter is that, at dead of night, trucks enter from Uttar Pradesh with loads of the simians. These are let loose in the forests of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh gets rid of its monkey menace.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 11 December 2015.

The principal chief conservator of forests in Uttarakhand has written a letter to the state's DGP regarding the fact that several states, including Uttar Pradesh, are secretly dumping their monkeys into the state. As a result, there is a sudden rise in the population of monkeys which has become one of several states facing monkey menace.
It seems vehicles from neighboring states are releasing groups of monkeys on the sly into Uttarakhand forests in the dead of night.
The practice is for vehicles from neighboring states to come to forests in the border areas to release the animals. The Uttarakhand government has instructed the forest department to maintain a watch on such activities and the police to take tough action.

Stray dogs and monkeys are spoiling Prime Minister's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'

At long last someone has realized that cleanliness cannot come through photo ops sessions of ministers and babus sweeping the clean streets with brand new brooms – of course, the broom sellers have made money as have agencies who have jumped on to the bandwagon of the cleanliness fad.

One must get to the root of the problem and contain menaces like street dogs, swinging monkeys and cattle left loose on the stress – they not only pollute and litter the surroundings but prevent the country from being transformed into a Swachh Bharat. Therefore, the NGO must be congratulated who has moved the Delhi High Court seeking a direction to the Centre to take concrete steps to deal with the "increasing menace" of stray dogs and monkeys in the national capital and have them "eliminated". These animals are "defiling" the Prime Minister's 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan'. This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 22 July 2015.

The court was hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by NGO, Society For Public Cause, which said that Section 399 of Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957, provides for control and regulation of dogs.

It is not only stray dogs but cattle on the roads and monkeys in the trees that also need to be controlled if India has to become a clean country and fulfil the dreams of a Swachh Bharat. (Image courtesy wikimediacommons.org)
