Attack of the Monkeys

According to the BBC, the deputy mayor of Delhi, Mr. SS Bajwa, has died after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys. Many Indian cities suffer from a monkey plague, but Delhi has a particularly bad infestation. The adorably vicious little thieves are revered by many local Hindus who see them as the physical manifestations of the god Hanuman and therefore feed them bananas and peanuts. While science works on the problem, a government-mandated study has suggested releasing trained bands of ferocious langur monkeys to kill off the troublesome Rhesus monkeys. I'm no city planner, but this does not seem like a wise solution.
