Ms Vinita Oberoi says that the monkeys have destroyed their plants and sit in their driveway for hours, making it difficult for people to move around. Ms Neeta Kapoor complains of stray dogs barking all night, causing sleepless nights.
Coexistence of all elements of nature is important but in an urban setup this is next to impossible . Animals have to be kept in their natural habitat, for them to survive. Simultaneously human beings are comfortable in their urban environment.
