While the girl was not injured seriously, students and faculty complained of the growing monkey attacks at the institute. “Around 10 days ago, a professor was bitten by a monkey, and a peon was also attacked a few days back. The students and the faculty members are in constant fear due to these incidents becoming a routine affair,” said a senior official at the department.

To tackle with the simian menace, the university had hired three langurs to chase away the monkeys around four years ago. However, after the audit department raised objections on the expenditure of 6,000 on each langur, the service was discontinued.
