Watch: Woman rescues snake with bare hands from college in Chhattisgarh’s Bilaspur; netizens stunned

Reptiles are creatures that belong to the wild, but they sometimes enter our civilisation in search of food, shelter, or protection. Once, such creatures were snakes, and more creative people were the ones who caught them.

Often, videos of snake catchers go viral. Recently, a video of a woman rescuing a snake from DLS PG College's Office premises in Bilaspur has become popular. Not only did the daring woman catch the snake with ease, but she also made people aware of what breed of snake it was and how to tackle snakes.

According to details, the daring woman – Ajita Pandey, hailing from Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur – approached the DLS PG College's Office premises after being informed about the snake.

First, she looked at the desk, carefully removed some files, and then rescued the snake with her gentle care. Following this, she safely secured it in a sack and then explained to the office staff that the snake was non-venomous. Her expertise astonished the staff, who cheered for her when Ajita walked out of the office with a beaming smile.
