MAN KEYS MONKEY
August 12th, 2006 by J.Sridharan
Delhi Metro, says a Reuters Report, has hired a Monkey to frighten off
other Monkeys from boarding trains and upsetting passengers.
The Langur, which has been trained since it was three months old,
has been patrolling Monkey-prone stations on a leash.
In June, a Monkey boarded a train at the underground
Chawri Bazaar station and reportedly scared passengers
by scowling at them for three stops.
It then alighted at the Civil Lines Station.
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation says it hopes
the new hire will avert a repeat of that episode.
“He started work a month ago and since then
we have not had a single incident,” said Metro spokesman.

wow! that was a brilliant idea Sridharan uncle!
It is amazing how our guys find some out of the box solutions for such problems without the usual retreat to caging monkeys or killing them!
