Apart from stray cattle, the authorities have found trouble makers in stray pigs, dogs and monkeys. To curb the menace, decision has been taken not to allow pig rearers within the 5 km radius of the city. Those willing to switch over to other professions will also be granted loans between Rs. 2 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh, said the Municipal Commissioner.
“The OMC will rope in expert monkey catchers and pat them Rs. 250 for every animal they catch. The monkeys will also be driven to the Nallamalla forest range,” he adds.
