The high court directed Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital to place before it the statistics for the last three months on how many people have approached the facility every day for taking injections on account of being bitten by monkeys or dogs.

"It is a serious matter and it is a serious menace. It is all stemming from non-disposal of garbage by the municipal bodies in the city. Due to non-collection of garbage, all the food and waste are littered around. They are not realising it. Feeding of animals has to be done in a scientific manner.
