Monkeys in Delhi, India 

Regarded by Hindus as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength, Rhesus monkeys are causing an ongoing problem for residents in Delhi City . Thousands of these monkeys are now believed to inhabit the city, due in part, to the continuing urban development and the monkeys being driven ever closer to their human cousins.

Culling is not an option, therefore the services of monkey catchers, accompanied by Langurs (larger monkeys), have been employed to frighten and discourage them away from public areas.
