Man rescued after snake coils around his neck

KATTAKADA: A python coiled around the neck of a labourer of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Scheme (MGNRES) at Kallikad in Kattakada. He escaped due to the timely intervention of others. The python coiled around the neck of Bhuvanachandran Nair of Perumkulangara in Kallikad.

Nair and his team came to KICMA College Compound at Neyyar Dam under the MGNRE scheme. The snake coiled around his neck while he was engaged in his work. Seeing the incident, the workers caught hold of the snake's neck and tail and rescued Nair from the snake. The labourers said that if the snake had coiled his neck for some more time, it would have endangered his life. Officials of the forest department caught the snake and later left it to the forest.
