New Delhi: To keep monkeys away from the Commonwealth Games venues here, the civic authorities are now ‘deploying' langurs. The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has brought in 10 langurs for the same, an official said. The NDMC already has 28 langurs, which are used to scare monkeys in VIP areas of the Capital.

“From Tuesday, we will increase the number of langurs to 38. The additional langurs will take care of the Games venues and other important areas,” said the official
