A Gang of Monkeys Take Over Indian Government Office Building

A group of marauding monkeys have taken over the office building of top government officials in India.

The Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat headquarters in Northern India, which is home to many top Indian government officials, has been overrun by macaques, who climbed into the office from balconies.

Security at the location say they are being distracted from their jobs by the red-faced primates and are unable to shoo them away while working from their posts. The security has resorted to using slingshots to defend themselves and attempt to chase away the macaques.

The Indian Express states that "The Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat, which houses the offices of chief ministers of both states, the cabinet ministers and the offices of top bureaucrats, has literally been taken over by monkeys."

Despite their attempts to rid the headquarters of the problem monkeys, the Indian Express also reports the situation became so bad that guards are "avoiding eye contact" or running away to avoid provoking them.

A senior Central Industrial Security Force official said: “The other day, one monkey caught hold of my jacket from behind. I did not turn and kept moving. The monkey went away."
