Delhi deploys 'super monkey' security guards

[compak]

Delhi authorities are to deploy a contingent of langurs - a large type of monkey - at Commonwealth Games venues to help chase away smaller simians from the sporting extravaganza.

From Wednesday 10 langurs will be put on duty outside several Games venues in the Indian capital, with the swimming complex seen as particularly vulnerable to monkey misbehaviour, an official said.

The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has a regular team of 28 langurs which are used to scare away their weaker brethren in VIP areas of the city.

"From tomorrow onwards we will increase the number of langurs from 28 to 38. The additional langurs will take care of the Games venues and other important areas," an NDMC official told the Press Trust of India news agency.

Animals have so far posed major headaches for the under-fire organisers, with stray dogs found in venues and a snake captured at the tennis complex.

Monkeys are a common sight in the verdant Indian capital, where they routinely scamper through government offices, courts and even police stations and hospitals.

In 2007, the deputy mayor of New Delhi died from a fatal fall after being attacked by a group on the terrace of his home.

Well please ensure that no ISI trained money sneaks in by proper screening of these langoors or else CWG might turn into Mumbai -2 with embarassment to remember..

Now ISI-trained monkeys
Tribune News Service

Ferozepore, February 28
The BSF and the Army posted along the Indo-Pakistan border here have been put on alert as dozens of monkeys said to be trained by the ISI have entered the Indian side of the border. A few of them were also seen on the outskirts of the city.

Local people say they have not seen monkeys here since Independence. The monkeys have not only caused havoc in the irrigated fields but are also a threat to the security system.

Army officials have not commented on the entry of monkeys yet. They are still on the hunt for the monkeys. The BSF authorities, who are keeping a 24-hour vigil on the border, have denied the report.
