With the monkey regularly visiting the platforms as well as the Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at Lower Parel railway station, the Railway officials on Wednesday lodged a complaint with the Thane forest department. "The monkey has regularly been visiting the railway station and moving on the FOB. Hence, we have requested the forest department to trap the monkey as soon as possible," said a railway official. “We have already tried on Thursday, and seeing the size and alertness of the monkey, we doubt it will be trapped. We have spoken to the officials from SGNP and if required we will dart the monkey on Friday to capture it,” said a senior forest official from Thane forest department.
