Monkeys crossing over from the Indian side of the border have become a familiar sight for residents in Nagarparkar, a town in the Tharparkar district. The appearance of these Monkeys has created both amusement and frustration among the locals, especially for vendors selling fruits and vegetables.
According to people living in the area, two Monkeys have been roaming around the town for several days. They have been jumping across rooftops, entering markets, and troubling shopkeepers by damaging produce. Residents say the animals cross into the town almost every winter, following the same route each year.
The recurring presence of these Monkeys has led the community to call on the Wildlife Department for help. Locals want authorities to safely capture the animals and relocate them to a protected area where they will no longer disturb daily life.
This latest incident comes shortly after a troubling event in the same border region. In October, livestock owners near Zero Point, the main land crossing in Tharparkar, reported that Indian forces attacked and injured several of their goats. They described the incident as a “brutal act of aggression” targeting harmless animals.
According to the owners, the attack took place in Sunrani village in Dehly tehsil. They explained that in most cross-border situations, livestock are returned unharmed. This time, however, the owners said at least five goats were killed while the legs of 15 others were deliberately broken.
Farmers added that the injuries appeared to be inflicted with a sharp tool, causing severe pain to the animals. They urged authorities to raise the issue through official channels to prevent similar incidents in the future.

The situation has sparked renewed discussion about cross-border wildlife movement and the challenges faced by local communities living along the border.
