Monkey business in Indian hospital
Times Live, July 12, 2011
The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi recently installed a new entry system. However, local monkeys soon worked out how to use the motion-censor doors and have since been running amok in the wards. They have terrorised patients, stealing food, playing with medical equipment, and attacking staff. Authorities have taken steps to scare off the monkeys. They have hired two larger monkeys to chase them away.
