NEW DELHI: The workforce behind badminton's World Championships in New Delhi next week will include a small group of men with an unusual skill: mimicking the calls of langur monkeys.
Rhesus monkeys are a menace in India's national capital, often gatecrashing buildings and attacking unsuspecting pedestrians or residents, but the langur, a bigger primate with a black face, is a potent antidote to the problem, and they are routinely deployed in offices.
