Monkey attack kills Delhi leader
The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi has died a day after being att=
acked by a horde of wild monkeys.

SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor t=
errace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade =
government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.

The High Court ordered the city to find an answer to the problem last year.

Solution elusive

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monke=
ys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be =
moved to forests.

But the problem has persisted.

Culling is seen as unacceptable to devout Hindus, who revere the monkeys as=
a manifestation of the monkey god Hanuman, and often feed them bananas and=
peanuts.

Urban development around the city has also been blamed for destroying the m=
onkeys' natural habitat.

Mr Bajwa, a member of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is survi=
ved by his wife and a son, according to the Press Trust of India news agenc=
y.
