Despite heavy security arrangement for US President Donald Trump, the security agencies are worried about monkeys who create misery in Agra. To tackle it, the security agencies have deployed five langurs (long-tailed monkeys) on the route of Trump's convoy.

The US President and his wife Melania Trump are scheduled to visit Taj Mahal on February 24.

Heavy security arrangements have been made. According to sources, the internal security of Trump and his family is being handled by the American Secret Services, 10 companies of paramilitary forces, 10 companies of PAC and NSG commandos have been deployed for the external security.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) have for the first time given mud-cap treatment to the graves of Emperor Shahjahan and Empress Mumtaz Mahal.

2. If only! The orange creep attacked by monkeys is something I'd love to see.

No joke. While walking under some trees in Mexico, I suddenly realized a group of monkeys was gathering overhead. Last time I reacted that fast was 30 years before when I woke a large rattler while jogging up onto the glacial boulder he was sleeping on.

Let this finally be the dream come true.

5. I wanna know, too. n/t

7. I think it's supposed to mean "a makeover"

Indian Business English is weird

[scarletwoman]

8. Thank you. Maybe it's an odd translation of "mud pack"? As in a spa beauty treatment?

[EndlessWire]

6. Only five??

Maybe they'll mistake his Orangeness for an enemy monkey and take care of our problem for us.

I'll be honest: I'm rooting for the monkeys. Any way to slip in a rogue monkey or two? Asking for a friend...

[Disaffected]

9. I hope one of them

shits on his head (monkeys or otherwise).

11. When I was 6 in '56, my family visited Gibraltar en route to my dad's

AFB job in Morocco. The monkeys, I'm not what kind, jumped on me and pulled
my hair. They were all over that rock. Go monkeys!

13. They're called Barbary apes.

I'm not sure if it's a particular species.

[Recursion]

16. Despite the name, actually a species of monkey, not ape

They are tailless, though, which explains the confusion

[BKDem]

19. Theyre macaques from North Africa -- the Barbary Coast.

12. Do Langurs throw 'dirt'?

Asking for a friend.

[Recursion]

15. The langurs are in general better-behaved than the macaques

Plus the langurs that langurwallahs carry with them are "housebroken", as it were.

14. While tRUMP should have a good fit with India's Hindu Nationalists/Nazis, the Hindus are way

more excitable than Daft Donnie's used to.
