Monkey rampage has panicked farmers at Rambha rural municipality-1, Hungi in Palpa.
Groups of wild monkeys coming from nearby forests have caused losses to the vegetable farming and cropping lately.
Kedar Prasad Basyal, a local farmer, said the wild beasts finished off entire potato farming which was ready to harvest. He further shared he had cultivated 1,000 seed potatoes of improved species this year but the groups of monkeys ruined everything.
Likewise, Amika Sunar, another local farmer, said the groups of wild beasts (monkey) caused damages to the potato in the field. “The potato planted in around one ropani land was entirely eaten up by the monkeys”.
Farmers here are worrying over the increasing rampage of monkeys which entered into the human settlement and destroyed vegetable farming and other standing crops.
Even the groups of monkey have started attacking on humans which has posed serious threat to people in the village, said Netra Aryal, a local.
