   The effort to reduce electricity theft has had an interesting side effect. One of the ways to prevent theft is to insulate the power lines going into neighborhoods. This also makes them safe for monkeys to use as 'roads' with the result that roving gangs of monkeys move from neighborhood to neighborhood with ease and also have access to the upper floor of apartment buildings because of the proximity of the power lines. I saw this in person a few years ago.

      Well the monkeys should be just shot in that case. Violence is an underrated solution.

         Just an insanely brain dead take. 10/10 rage bait. India has a lot more empathy and kindness for living things.

            If you have ever been a farmer or in a related profession, you would know animal populations need to be kept in control.
