'Monkey Business' Is No Joke; MP Man From Singrauli Finds Out The Hard Way: WATCH

Monkey attacks in MP's Singrauli have sparked panic. In the latest monkey attack, an NCL employee suffered a spinal injury. Locals have stopped sending kids to school as incidents rise.

In Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli district, a growing wave of monkey and langur attacks has left residents living in fear. With aggressive monkeys injuring people across different parts of the town, many parents have stopped sending their children to school.

In one serious incident, Vinay Singh, an employee of the Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL) Amalori project, was attacked by monkeys outside his residence. The assault left him with a fractured spine. He was first admitted to a local hospital and later referred to Varanasi for advanced treatment.

Urban And Rural Areas Under Siege

Monkey attacks are not limited to the town alone. Both urban neighbourhoods and nearby villages are facing relentless harassment from monkey troops. The situation has become so severe that locals have filed multiple complaints with the forest department and district authorities.

Plans Underway To Capture Monkeys

Following public pressure, the Singrauli administration and forest officials have begun drafting a plan to trap and relocate the monkeys. While no concrete action has been executed yet, officials say they intend to use cages and trained experts to safely move the animals back into forested areas.

Similar steps have been taken in other districts of Madhya Pradesh, where monkey attacks have become an increasingly common threat.

Recent Monkey Attacks

In June, a woman in Bareilly was attacked by a troop of monkeys while she was putting out clothes to dry on the terrace of her home in Ramnagar village. The 45-year-old woman suffered fractured legs and injuries to other bones.

In a similar attack, a 61-year-old man was attacked earlier in Bareilly's Kalibari. The man, while trying to escape the attack, fell from the terrace of his house and died.
