Monkeys crossing over from the Indian fence have become a source of amusement for residents in the border town of Nagarparkar in Tharparkar, Brackly News reported.
According to locals, two monkeys have been jumping around the town and troubling vegetable and fruit vendors. Residents say the animals enter the town in the same way every year during winter.
People in the area have called on the Wildlife Department to capture the monkeys and relocate them to a safe place.
The latest episode comes against the backdrop of a recent incident in the same border region.
In October, Indian forces killed and injured several goats near Zero Point, the land border crossing in Tharparkar district of Sindh, in what livestock owners denounced as a “brutal act of aggression” that even targeted innocent animals.
According to the owners, the incident occurred in the village of Sunrani in Dehly tehsil.
They said that in such situations, livestock are usually returned, but this time the animals were brutally attacked, with at least five goats killed and the legs of 15 others broken.
The owners added that the injured goats’ legs had been cut with a sharp tool.
