Monkey menace!
Recently I visited one of my relative's house who lives in Rajar Deuri in old town. In the compound and on the roof I saw a number of monkeys strolling freely and attempting to take away anything from inside the house including foods and clothes. I came to know that monkeys frequent all the houses of the old town area. Not only they take away essential household items but often attacks and hurts children and adults. It has been gathered that due to the destruction of natural habitats adjacent to Buriganga river, monkeys have become shelter-less and they are not getting enough food for their survival.
It may sound impossible but in my opinion, these monkeys should be caught and transported in cages to our forest districts and released there so that these creatures could get a natural home and the residents of the old town could get rid of the monkey menace!
