A team of “monkey wallahs” have been employed to mimic the macaques’ barking call in a bid to combat the brazen animals ahead of the upcoming G20 summit.
It will be a gold-class line-up when the most powerful world leaders descend on India for the G20 summit next week, among them US President Joe Biden, France’s Emmanuel Macron and of course, as a guest, Australia’s own Anthony Albanese.
Red-faced macaques are the welcoming party Delhi does not want waiting for world leaders at the G20 summit.There are believed to be about 20,000 rhesus macaques roaming the Indian capital, where they are likened to stray cats or dogs. As the city readies itself for the meeting of G20 leaders on September 9 and 10, authorities have turned to another primate to help veer the monkeys away from hotels and sites where leaders and their entourage will gather.
But with animal welfare laws forbidding such use of langurs since 2012, authorities have installed life-size cut-outs instead at key sites, and trained a team of “monkey wallahs” or “monkey-men” to mimic their barking call to clear macaques from areas.Advertisement
