Dead Baby Snake Found in Nutritional Food Packet at Madhya Pradesh Anganwadi CentrePreviousNext

In Madhya Pradesh's Pandhurna district, a dead baby snake was found inside a nutritional food packet distributed to a pregnant woman through an Anganwadi centre. The woman did not consume the food, and the family alerted local authorities. Officials seized the packet, prepared an inspection report, and sent samples to the State Food Testing Centre in Bhopal. A five-member inquiry committee has been formed to investigate, with further action pending laboratory results. Villagers expressed concern over food safety and called for stricter quality checks.
