Pratiksha Nagar in Sion has been seeing a lot of monkeying around for the last 10 days, literally. A gang of five monkeys seems to have staked out five buildings of the policy colony in the area, where nearly 124 families of officers and personnel stay.

Every morning between 8.30 and 9.30, the animals have been making their way into several kitchens in the seven-storey buildings, located next to Wadala Monorail depot, and stealing food. While residents are fed up with the menace, they are counting their lucky stars that the animals haven't attacked anyone so far.
