G20: Delhi tries to scare monkeys away from summit
Authorities in India's capital, Delhi, are Taking Steps to scare away monkeys from venues linked to the G20 summit.

Authorities are also making arrangements to provide food for monkeys in designated sites, aiming to discourage them from lingering In Search of food.
