Farmers in Firozpur village of Sambhal district dressed up like a bear in a bid to scare away monkeys and save their crops.
“...Monkeys cause a menace, and eat potatoes and strawberries from our fields. There must be more than 100 monkeys here. This happens every day. Monkeys run away after seeing us like this...There should be some solution to this...2-3 of us are doing this...,” said Dharambir.
“I do not have complete information regarding this. But I have come to know about this. Monkeys run away, but this is not a permanent solution. If they run away from one place, they will reach another...Concrete steps will have to be taken so that we can catch monkeys and release them in the jungle...Forest Department will make all effort to catch the monkeys, we will take action as per the instructions we receive…,” said Ranger Manoj Kumar.
