A cut-out of a langur is tied to a fence alongside a road to scare away monkeys, ahead of the G20 Summit in New Delhi, India, August 30, 2023.
In addition, the authority has started providing food to monkeys in forested areas to ensure they do not wander beyond the boundaries.
"We started placing these cutouts in the city over the last one week and are already seeing a positive impact.
This is not the first time New Delhi has turned to langurs to resolve its monkey problem during a major international event.
Live langurs were rented and put on duty when the Commonwealth Games were held in the city in 2010.
