More than 200 monkeys from a nearby forest
Have made the estate in the tea-rich district their new home—
1,700 workers have been forced to lock doors and
Move in groups while plucking tea leaves.
Workers are terrified as monkeys snatch food from their children—
Because of the sentiments of the workers
We cannot hurt the monkeys.
Thousands of people are having sleepless nights—
Maids weep as they trade tales of sightings.
People are sleeping in groups for greater protection.
10 Persons were bit in the last few days—
Villagers demand that Either the monkeys should be caught
Or be killed by the authorities so that people might have respite.
The attacks by the monkeys have caused panic in the village
And the villagers are forced to move in groups.
