Monkey, baby who created ruckus at officers' bungalows rescued & released in forest

Khargone: A female monkey and her baby who had been creating ruckus at the residences of senior officers in Civil Lines area of Khargone district headquarters were rescued and later released in forest. "For a long time, a female monkey and her baby were creating a ruckus at the residences of about 15 senior officers in Civil Lines. Sometimes they would take away things or break plants and flowerpots, and even injure persons," Khargone DFO Ramesh Rathore told TOI. "The monkeys would roam around bungalows of Collector, SP, DFO, and one or two other officers in the morning, and afterwards go to court premises via the old collectorate. People would give them fruits and vegetables in vegetable market in front of municipality, and finally, they would rest in the campus," he said. The DFO said that the monkeys troubled elderly members of SP Dharamraj Meena's family, and had attacked guard of Collector Bhavya Mittal, tore off his clothes, and injured him. "They even used to create ruckus in district court, and recently had entered the SDM office where they created chaos for a long time."

Rathore said that usually the work of catching animals in the municipal area is carried out by the municipality, but CMO expressed their inability to catch them. The DFO said that cages were put up on the premises twice for a long time, but the clever monkeys could not be caught. After this, a rescue team from Indore was called in and they put up a cage on the premises of DFO bungalow and caught the female monkey. He said, "Troubled by the capture of its mother, the monkey became aggressive, and was tranquilised and caught." Both of them were later released in the forests of Jam Gate in Mandleshwar area of Khargone district, the DFO said.
