This was informed by the Minister of Urban Development M. Venkaiah Naidu in a written reply to Rajya Sabha.

Replying to Ambeth Rajan on the issue, Naidu said the measures being taken include: scaring the monkeys away by trained persons who disguise themselves as langurs. New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) has hired forty young persons for this purpose. NDMC also acquired Sure Shot Rubber Bullet Guns for scaring away the monkeys. A team of dog catchers visits the Parliament House and surrounding areas twice a week for catching unimmunized and unsterilized stray dogs.
