The menace of stray dogs and monkeys is on the rise in colonies and societies of Greater Noida. Three people including a woman were bitten by monkeys in Sector Beta 1 in the last two days. Over four dozen people were bitten in the last three months in the same sector. Children, women and senior citizens are now afraid to step out of their homes alone.
Residents of Greater Noida and the colonies are troubled by the terror of monkeys. Ruhi, a resident of Sector Beta 1, was bitten by a monkey yesterday. Harendra Bhati, member of the Active Citizen team, said despite several complaints to the GreNo Authority, no action has been taken so far. He demanded that the authority should run a full-fledged campaign against the menace of stray animals.
Due to the monkey menace, residents of high-rise societies have started installing nets on their balconies. Residents of AVJ Society have started covering their balconies to stop the entry of monkeys.
Similar complaints have surfaced from several sectors and societies including Sector Beta 2, Gamma, Swarn Nagri, P-3, Sectors 36 and 37 among others.
Swarn Nagri RWA president Rajesh Bhati said that daughter of Bhanu Sharma, a resident of the colony, was bitten by monkeys. Bhati, too, maintained that no action was taken by the authority despite several complaints.
