Dealing with monkeys

On Monday, the Lok Sabha Secretariat issued an advisory to visitors and its staff on ways to protect themselves from monkeys roaming in the premises. The set of dos and don'ts include directives such as "do not make direct eye contact with monkeys", "do not cross the path between a mother and her infant" and "do not tease or irritate the monkeys. 
Leave them alone and they will leave you alone", among others. It also urged people to "not get scared if a monkey makes a 'kho-kho' noise as normally, it is a bluff."
