A top court reprimanded authorities in the Indian capital for failing to stop hundreds of monkeys from terrifying residents in New Delhi.
Hundreds of monkeys known as Rhesus macaques are over running the streets of New Delhi occasionally snatching food from unsuspecting passers-by and even biting them.
Over the years city authorities have tried various methods to deal with the problem. They’ve used monkey catchers who use langurs — a larger and fiercer kind of simian — to scare or catch the monkeys.

The Supreme Court ordered wildlife authorities to transport some 300 macaques from New Delhi to the dense jungles of Madhya. The monkeys need to be reintroduced to the wild and the government
was to receive $54,000 to do this.
