UP Forms Committee to Address Human-Monkey Conflict in Lakhimpur Kheri
A nine-member committee led by the district magistrate has been established in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri to address human-monkey conflicts in both urban and rural areas. The committee will develop a standard operating procedure aligned with state government guidelines. Local bodies will identify affected areas, capture problematic monkeys without prior permission, and release disease-free monkeys into designated forests. The plan includes sterilizing male monkeys and will be guided by a technical report from the Wildlife Institute of India.
