Over 10 hit-and-run cases of monkeys on the highways have been reported from the Narsapur forest stretch.
"People who visit temples give bananas and coconuts to monkeys, ensuring a continuous food supply for them on the road," added Mr Shankaran. These animals get used to the taste and start sitting on the road rather than going inside the forest to look for food."ĭespite the repeated efforts by forest officials to drive the monkeys back into the forest, they tend to come back to the road as they have got used to cooked food. Shankaran, officer on special duty, wildlife, said, "People travelling in private vehicles tend to feed monkeys bread and chapathis.
Hyderabad: Forest officials said that the signboards asking travellers not to feed monkeys on sections of some state highways, especially in the Narsapur forests, are being ignored, which is causing problems.
