People of Gajapur village in Kottur taluk of Vijayanagara district, who have been under attack from a monkey, have demanded that the Forest Department catch the animal.
As per information provided by villagers, the monkey, which has been staying in and around the village for the last two years, has been attacking people.
“The monkey has attacked over 20 people in the last two years. It has now become a big headache for the people as the animal has intensified its attack by targeting at least one or two people a week. We have requested the Forest Department officials to catch and detain the animal but the department has hardly done anything,” a villager said.
Around 440 MBBS graduates of 2021 are not required to undergo one year of compulsory rural service as per the bond signed by them while joining the medical course through government-quota seats in 2015 as the High Court of Karnataka has said the law, enacted in 2012 for mandatory rural service, remained unenforced for 10 years as it was published in the official gazette only in July 2022.
