UP Monkey Menace: Court Demands Action Plan

The Allahabad High Court has mandated district-level committees to report on actions taken concerning the escalating man-monkey conflict across Uttar Pradesh. This directive comes as the court reviews a Public Interest Litigation highlighting the burgeoning monkey population, increased conflict incidents, significant crop damage, and the resulting hunger among monkeys due to shrinking food sources.

The court has specifically requested detailed action plans from authorities, with the next hearing scheduled for April 6. During proceedings on February 17, the bench emphasized the need for an affidavit detailing the implementation of the current Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in affected districts like Ghaziabad and Mathura.
