Monkey Menace On Sambhal's Gunthal Road, Locals Say Several Injured

Residents of Chandausi in Sambhal district are facing serious trouble due to monkeys on Gunthal Road, especially near an ashram, where locals say the animals have been attacking people passing through the area.

Rajat Malhotra reports from Sambhal/Chandausi that a large group of monkeys has become active near the ashram on Gunthal Road. According to local people, the monkeys suddenly attack pedestrians, schoolchildren and bike riders. Several people have also been bitten and injured by the monkeys.

The situation has created fear among people who step out for morning and evening walks, as well as among shopkeepers in the area. Locals say it has become difficult for women and children to go out alone because of the fear of monkey attacks.

Residents also say the monkeys enter houses and take away food and other eatables. Because of this, people living near the ashram and along Gunthal Road say their daily life has become difficult.

Local residents have demanded that the Forest Department and the municipal administration act quickly and catch the monkeys, so that people can get relief from the problem.
