    Langur posters is Karimnagar Municipal Corporation’s solution to tackle monkey menace

    Officials start distributing the posters to schools; arrangements also being made to catch monkeys and leave them in forest areas Karimnagar: Monkey trouble? Bring in the langur! The age-old myth that the common monkeys (rhesus macaque) are afraid of Indian Gray Langurs is being put to use by the Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar, which has struck upon the idea of distributing flex posters of langurs to all government schools. Corporation officials took this decision in the wake of monkey attacks on schools and several instances of the simians creating terror among students.
