Dear Sir

We have caught about 7 Monkeys in our factory which was troubling our company as well as M/S Ashok Leyland Ennore.

You please approach Tamilnadu Forest Service in this issue.

You need to arrange vehicle for carrying the cages and monkeys for them.

Dear Sir

We have the problem of monkey menace (around 30 monkeys) in our plant. These monkeys create all sort of problems like damaging the electrical wires, electronic parts, (which may lead to fire incident) other plant installations, besides safety threat for the employees.

We tried to solve this problem by approaching the Forest Department and they used the method of catching the monkeys with the steel wire mesh cage. But, however only 3 or 4 monkeys were caught by this method. On seeing this method, other monkeys have become clever / shroud enough and they are not coming / entering the steel wire mesh cage and therefore this method has become impossible to catch all the monkeys.

Can any of the members suggest any agencies / persons or any best method by which all these monkeys can be caught in one stretch, so that it can be let free safely in the dense forest. Is there any liquid based fainting medicine / chemical which can be mixed up with the eatable items and thereby these monkeys can be caught safely.

We cannot use any crude practices, as in case of any eventualities, it may lead to legal complications as per Wild Animal protection act and as a company, we cannot afford to take any risk on that.

Request the members for sharing your experience in this regard please.

Dear Sir,

It seems to be a serious problem. I am not sure but you can try it out. Whenever these monkeys arrives next, do ring a " SIREN " (Having high noise) and you will find monkeys evacuating your premices. You can try it once, Hope it should do.

Regards,

Indrajeet Roy.

Dear Mr. Shravanan,

This is really a very difficult situation.

We had a similar problem in our Refrigerator making unit in Rajasthan, where

these monkeys were creating huge loss of properties including danger to Plant

Personnel.

We had hired an agency from Mathura( UP) for

trapping these monkeys. They were expert in this job and they caught all the

monkeys.

If you are interested, I can send you his

available contact number.

Regards

Sunil

Dear Mr Saravana,

Monkey Menace

This result in loss of property, damage to establishment and sometimes risk to

personnel working at the site.

Monkeys should not be harmed and are protected under Wild Life Act. Forest

officials are the responsible personnel to solve the problem. Local authorities

such as Panchayat and Municipal personnel should take care of the situation. You

will be very fortunate to get help from these personnel. The male monkeys would

be operated by the vertinary doctors to make them sterile.

Solution:

Monkey catchers: In AP, there are authorized personnel with ID cards issued by

the Forest Department. They are trained professionals and well versed with the

behaviour of monkey.

Even if there is regular catching of monkeys there may be entry of new monkeys

from the near by areas, depending on the site conditions. Under proper case

these monkeys should be left in the jungles.

You need to inform / take into confidence statutory authorities (Panchayat /

Municipal authorities and Local Forest officials) while doing this activity to

avoid regulatory problems.

Solar fencing in the boundary scares away the monkeys

Temporary measure: (from others)

1 Having black monkey created a fear in the red monkeys in small factories.

(Practical problem – You require a black monkey and rear it!)

2 Bursting of crackers along the boundary / fence scares.

Finally !

There is a humorous tinge to it ….you know to Monkey behaviour too!!!
