Seven langurs have been stranded on a water-logged high power transmission tower in Nagpur since five days, and a rescue team has made an artificial bridge for them to come down to safety. Efforts are still on to rescue the monkeys from the tower, which has been surrounded by water in Mahurzari village of Nagpur district following heavy rains in the area, forest officials said on Thursday.

Attempts were also made to rescue the animals, who have been stranded since Sunday, with the help of ropes and boats, but there has been no success so far, they said.
