Dramatic footage has emerged showing a troop of monkeys causing chaos at an Indian temple after a fallen electric cable sent them into a frenzied stampede.
The incident, captured on video, shows the primates leaping and scrambling in panic as the live wire dangles dangerously close to them. Locals watched in shock as the animals dashed across rooftops and temple walls, narrowly avoiding electrocution.
Panic Ensues as Cable Sparks Chaos
Eyewitnesses reported that the monkeys, normally a common sight around the temple, became agitated when the cable snapped and fell near their gathering spot. The sudden movement and sparks from the wire triggered their instinct to flee, resulting in the chaotic scene.
"They were terrified," one bystander said. "The cable was swinging, and the monkeys started jumping everywhere, trying to get away."
Close Call with Disaster
Thankfully, no injuries were reported among the monkeys or temple visitors. Authorities quickly arrived to secure the area and repair the damaged cable, preventing further incidents.
This bizarre event highlights the unpredictable interactions between wildlife and urban infrastructure in India, where monkeys often roam freely near human settlements.
