Shimla town, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, is suffering from an invasion of monkeys, reported Friday news agency IANS. 

Monkeys get into the house, taking everything that is in the fridge, stealing food, ruining gardens and even attack people on the street and bite them, writes the media. 

"Six or seven years ago, the monkeys had been catched here and transported to the forest, but now, after their population have grown in the woods, they came back," - said the agency representative of the Department of Wildlife Gulati. 

Residents of some districts of Shimla and its suburbs were forced to set up bars on windows and doors to protect own properties.
