Delhi Deploys 'Monkey Whisperers' for Badminton World Championships

Organizers of the BWF World Championships in Delhi have hired professional 'monkey whisperers' to prevent macaque intruders from disrupting matches at the Indira Gandhi Stadium.

The security measures include non-toxic gel, double-door entries, and specialized sound equipment to deter wildlife, ensuring the safety of athletes during the tournament.

This unique intervention is part of a broader renovation project for the stadium, which is hosting top-tier international badminton talent for the 2026 season.
