Train operations came to a halt for almost an hour after a fight broke out between two monkeys at the Samastipur Junction railway station in Bihar.
Two monkeys were fighting over a banana near platform number 4, when one of them threw a rubber-like object at the other. The object came in contact with an overhead wire and caused a short-circuit. The wire then broke and fell on the bogie of a train, bringing trains to a halt.
