Bhubaneswar, April 9: A monkey on the truss of the Biju Patnaik International Airport on Friday gave a tough time to personnel of Forest department, whose repeated attempts to shoo off the simian went in vain.
Airport authorities and forest department personnel tried everything from anesthetic drug to serving bananas laced with sedatives to spreading a special net to bring the simian down, but to no avail. The animal remained ensconced on a grill hanging from the roof- top of the new airport terminal.
Some personnel were seen chasing the monkey when the animal kept jumping from one beam to another on the roof-top.
However, the animal did not harm anyone.
