Delhi metro in monkey business

The Delhi Metro authorities say they have employed a large black-faced langur monkey to frighten away other monkeys who were worrying passengers.

The monkey was kept on leash for a month at one of Delhi's biggest stations in the Kashmere Gate area. Its owner was paid $150 for its services.

The step was taken after a couple of incidents in June when monkeys boarded the trains, scaring passengers.
