Villagers Demand Monkey Control for Votes
In a village called Illanda, there are many more monkeys than people.
The monkeys are causing problems by stealing things, damaging homes, and scaring children.
The villagers say they will only vote for someone who promises to control the monkey population.
They don't care about other promises like new roads or developments.
In another village, a candidate named Ravelly Krishna Rao has made many big promises to win votes, like giving money for schools, health camps, and even free DJs for weddings.
But in Illanda, the main concern is the monkeys.
Villagers in Illanda, Warangal district, demand that the next sarpanch must control the monkey population to earn their votes.
The village has 5,400 human residents and an estimated 20,000 monkeys, causing significant disruption and safety concerns.
Monkeys are stealing cooking utensils, damaging homes, and attacking children, making daily life difficult for residents.
Previous attempts to seek help from representatives have failed, and villagers are now united in their demand for monkey control.
In a nearby village, a sarpanch candidate has made numerous development promises, but in Illanda, the focus is solely on addressing the monkey menace.
