Villagers in Khadiya spotted a langur monkey on a 160-feet-high transmission tower on August 5.
The monkey, with a long rope around its neck, sat near the top of the tower.
Since the monkey ran the risk of getting electrocuted, the villagers tried to make it come down by offering bananas and nuts but it refused to budge and sat impassively.
Villager Jitendar Kumar said: “The langur climbed the transmission tower on Sunday. Later, we found that its neck’s rope was stuck in the tower and it couldn’t escape. “
The villagers informed the local police on August 7, who requested the help of an animal rescue organisation, Wildlife SOS.
Three volunteers of the organisation climbed the tower.
Watching them coming up the monkey struggled frantically and managed to free itself.
Though weakened from hunger and dehydration, it leaped from 100-feet-high, making a dramatic landing on its four limbs and ran away.
A local police officer Prashant Tyagi said: “Power supply was cut for over three hours to help experts rescue the monkey."
