  • They had a lot of trouble with monkeys here...and they couldn't harm them cause of the animal rights people...so they got one extra large monkey/gorilla to act as a "bouncer" and scare away the other monkeys!
  • this was the grat time ever had
  • Monkey menace is not due to Animal Rights issue, but because a large number of Staff feed them as as per hindu belief they are the incarnation of god. If you do not feed they will not come. In Shastri Bhawan , Krishi bhawan, North block and South Block Rhesus monkeys invade everywhere
