Charbagh Railway Station in Lucknow has employed a unique solution to control its monkey population – hiring impersonators who mimic the sounds of langur monkeys. These mimics work throughout the day, deterring monkeys for minimum wages.
According to sources, Lucknow's Charbagh Station has adopted this unusual strategy to maintain order, bringing in impersonators to produce langur calls and manage the monkey problem.

The Northern Railway has engaged these performers on a six-month contract, not only at Charbagh but also at stations in Ayodhya, Faizabad, and Varanasi. Senior DCM Northern Railway, Jagatosh Shukla, notes that this initiative aims to shield the general public from monkey disturbances.
They work eight-hour shifts, again for minimum wage. This pilot project has been deployed at select stations, and if successful, it may be continued.
