Hyderabad: In his first initiative in Telangana, the Ministry of Agriculture has initiated the ‘survey of monkeys’ in villages throughout the state to identify the monkey movement hotspots and the number of monkeys.

Field officers also have to record whether there are tourist attractions nearby.
According to a report, each officer is responsible for entering the harvest order and other details from every 10,000 hectares and the same officer is responsible for the Monkey Menace survey.
