Where was the need to put so many officers to get back the spectacles? Waste of human resources, IMHO.

I was warned about it on my visit there. Went around without glasses. Probably the only place in India these guys take away your glasses.

Happened to me! I was sitting in an auto and from nowhere a monkey came and snatched my glasses and went up a pole. A small boy came in few seconds, threw up a Frooti for the monkey and the monkey dropped the glasses. The boy asked for 50Rs. The episode lasted for hardly 5min
