</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.
</FONT></P><P>
<FONT size="2">The High Court ordered the city to find an answer to the problem last year.</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7055625.stm"><P><FONT size="2">One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.
