  • Do  not irritate or tease monkeys.   Leave them alone and they will leave you alone.
  • Be light footed while passing through a monkey group i.e. do not run.
  • Do not go near a dead or wounded monkey.
  • Do not feed monkeys.  If anybody found feeding monkeys, necessary legal action shall be initiated.
  • In case a monkey collides with your vehicle,(two wheelers especially) do not stop there.
  • Do not get scared if a monkey makes a'Kho-Kho' noise as normally it is a bluff.  Ignore the monkey and walk away calmly.
  • Do not ever hit any monkey.   Keep hitting the ground with a big stick to make monkeys leave your house or garden.
