Life-size cutouts of langurs have sprung up in several parts of New Delhi over the last few days as officials look to prevent the smaller rhesus monkeys from playing spoilsport during the G20 summit that will take place next week.

Rhesus monkeys are a menace in many areas in India's national capital, running across busy roads without warning - putting both themselves and motorists at risk - and often attacking unsuspecting pedestrians or residents.

"We cannot harm them or remove them , our only option is to confine them to their areas," said Satish Upadhyay, the vice-chairperson of the New Delhi Municipal Council , which is carrying out the work. In addition, the authority has started providing food to monkeys in forested areas to ensure they do not wander beyond the boundaries.
