For some time now, in various committees of the House of Representatives and the National Assembly, the MPs have been making the suffering caused by monkeys in the villages a major issue. The members of the Federalism Strengthening and National Concerns Committee under the National Assembly on Monday brought up the fact that the monkeys not only damaged the crops by eating them, but also came and attacked the houses and left the children without parents to stay at home.

Rajendra Lakshmi Gayre, a member of the committee participating in the discussion organized on the issues related to forest area and national park in the implementation of projects of national pride, said that it is not possible for parents to leave their children at home and go to Melapat due to monkeys in the north and south of Palpa.  

'The complaints of the locals in that area are that the monkeys come and attack the house, so parents are not able to leave the children at home, and they have to walk with them,' she said, 'Monkeys cannot be killed, but you can give gifts to someone.'

She said that the Ministry of Forestry and Environment should take this matter seriously and find a solution. "This is a sensitive matter," she said, "the relevant authorities should be serious about this matter and find a solution." Another committee member, Jagat Prasad Sharma, said that a solution should be found quickly because the monkeys were disturbing the house in the village.

From the point of view of security, although it is acceptable to capture and kill monkeys and pandas, Ramchandra Kandel, director general of the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Department, said that monkeys cannot be killed according to religious beliefs. 'However, monkeys can be kept in encroached places,' he said while answering the questions raised by the members in the committee meeting, 'around 800 bighas of land in Chitwan have been encroached upon, such a place can be made into a monkey park.' He says .

While in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, in the Agriculture, Cooperative and Natural Resources Committee, to Tibet  Deepak Kumar Kharal, Secretary of the Ministry of Forests and Environment, said that there was a matter of giving a monkey and getting a monkey. "Recently, we are preparing to declare monkeys and wild boars as wild animals harmful to agriculture," he said, "The Ministry of Agriculture has given a positive opinion on this."
