A 55-year-old woman died on Wednesday after falling down the stairs at the main entrance of her house while trying to escape from a pack of marauding monkeys at Lingapur village in Shankarapatnam mandal of Karimnagar district.
The deceased was identified as K. Vimala. She sustained severe head injuries in the fall and died while being rushed to a hospital in Huzurabad.
The incident focused on the rampant monkey menace affecting dozens of villages across several mandals in the erstwhile Karimnagar district.
Incidentally, the issue figured prominently during the election campaign in several villages reeling under the monkey menace during the recently held gram panchayat polls.
