Human-Wildlife Conflict Intensifies in Nepal's Hills

Some MPs from parliament gave the government an ultimatum to solve the monkey problem. The problem of monkeys is causing villages to become empty and the suffering of farmers is widely reported in the media. This is not a new issue. This problem has become more complex in the last decade.

This issue was previously limited to the local and district levels, up to the District Forest and Administration. It has now entered parliament. Shortly after Balen Shah became Prime Minister, MPs drew the government's attention to this issue during provincial discussions. In the current session of parliament, some MPs raised the issue of the need for a clear government policy to solve the monkey problem.
