Bihar Snake Rescuer Saves Cobra, Later Bitten During Separate Rescue Operation
In Bihar's Valmikinagar region, Janaki Devi, known as the 'Snake Lady' or 'Sarp Mitra,' rescued a nearly 10-foot king cobra that entered a resident's home, safely releasing it into the nearby forest. During a separate rescue involving another giant cobra, she was bitten and is currently receiving treatment in Nepal. Officials note increased snake encounters during monsoon seasons and advise residents to contact trained rescuers rather than handle snakes themselves.
