Panic gripped residents of Block Colony Sahi in Hinjilicut, Ganjam district, after a six-foot-long python was spotted late at night in a residential area. The snake was seen in front of the house of local resident Yudhisthir Dalai, who stepped outside after hearing his dogs barking unusually.
To his shock, he discovered the large python on the road just outside his home.
Without delay, Dalai contacted the Snake Helpline, following which helpline member Kalia Nahak arrived at the location and safely rescued the reptile. The python was later released into a nearby forest area, away from human habitation.
Locals expressed their gratitude to the Snake Helpline for their swift response and professional handling of the situation. No one was harmed during the rescue.
