The Himachal Pradesh government is on monkey business, literally! The wildlife wing will chase marauding monkeys in the streets not to shoo them away, but to conduct an exact headcount. A dawn-to-dusk census of monkeys and langurs, involving over 2,500 people, would be conducted on June 29, said AK Gulati, principal chief conservator of wildlife.
