Palakurthy Villagers Raise Funds to Tackle Monkey Menace

The villagers of Valmidi in Palakurthy mandal in Jangaon passed a unanimous resolution at a grama sabha to donate money to solve monkey menace that is giving sleepless nights to them for the last few days. 

Owing to over 40 to 50 monkeys’ movement in two groups, the villagers were forced to stay indoors. 

Two groups of monkeys were creating nuisance in the village, climbing the terrace and compound walls. When residents tried to shoo away, the



monkeys were becoming ferocious.

These monkeys were also causing problems to villagers in attending to their agricultural works during the current crop season. Enraged over the problem, an elderly person in the village came forward to tackle them.

Holding two sticks, he tried to shoo away monkeys but in vain. Unable to cope with the situation, the villagers managed to hold a grama sabha on Monday to discuss the future course of action to handle the situation.
