Time and again, governments and NGOs have collaborated to sterilize monkeys, but the population is exploding. Activists say, abundant food from the temples and offerings made by the devotees of Lord Hanuman are not conducive towards controlling monkey breeding. Oon top of it, Agra has a very poor garbage collection system, they say.
