Overview
- On January 2, the Public Works Department invited bids to deploy trained personnel who imitate langur calls at the Delhi Assembly complex.
- Officials said the expert will also bring a langur to help scare monkeys away without causing harm.
- Handlers are slated for duty on working days and Saturdays, with each deployment running eight hours.
- The contracted agency must supply equipment, enforce discipline, comply with safety norms, and ensure performance monitoring with insurance for personnel.
- The move responds to recurring incursions that damage wires and dish antennas after cutouts lost effect and a previous impersonator contract ended.
