The Reason Behind This Disturbance
Due to increased development activities of humans like industry and real estate setups, the habitats of animals like monkeys have diminished. This has led monkey species like rhesus macaques to step out on roads and other places in Shimla. These species of monkeys are known for attacking humans and snatching their food and other belongings as they are unafraid of humans. The tourists in Shimla are informed to take full care of their personal belongings. This human-animal conflict has become a major concern for the State government of Himachal Pradesh. The government is trying to control the population of these species and maintain a balance in the environment.
