Shimla Residents Protest Over Rising Monkey and Stray Dog Attacks
Residents of Shimla, led by the Shimla Nagarik Sabha, protested outside the Municipal Corporation office demanding action against increasing attacks by monkeys, langurs, and stray dogs. They called for compensation of Rs 5 lakh for a woman who died after a monkey attack caused her to fall from a rooftop. Protesters urged strict legal measures against feeding these animals, identification and relocation of dangerous animals, and a sterilisation drive to control their population, warning of intensified agitation if demands are unmet.
