Thiruvananthapuram, March 10 (IANS) In a noble gesture, a local temple near Kasargod in the northern most district of Kerala has opened an eatery on the roadside for the monkeys.
The initiative has been undertaken by a local temple committee as a lot of monkeys come looking for food on the main road and get knocked down by moving vehicles.
Damodaran, a temple official, said, “This is a charity. We decided to put up a place on the road side and build a small place for people to place food, mostly fruits, on the table top which the monkeys can have.”
