11 Non-Venomous Snakes Rescued from Water Tank in Kota, Rajasthan
A startling incident occurred in the Aanli area of Kota, Rajasthan, when a family discovered eleven snakes swimming inside an eight-foot-deep indoor water tank. The discovery was made on a Monday morning while the residents were cleaning the tank, which had not been maintained for a long time. Upon noticing movement in the water and using a torch to investigate, the family observed multiple snakes, causing immediate panic. They promptly contacted the Municipal Corporation for assistance. Rescue workers Rocky Daniel and Jitendra Koli arrived at the scene and conducted a twenty-minute operation to safely extract the reptiles.
