Tirupur: A farmer in Udumalaipettai, Tirupur district, had a shocking encounter when he discovered a cobra inside his two-wheeler after visiting a private hospital for treatment. The incident occurred on Nehru Street, a main road in Udumalaipettai municipality, which houses private hospitals, offices, and residences.
The farmer had parked his motorcycle outside the hospital while receiving treatment. Upon returning and attempting to start his vehicle, he noticed the snake's presence, causing immediate panic. The Udumalaipettai Forest Department was promptly alerted about the situation.
Forest officials arrived at the scene and spent nearly an hour carefully extracting the snake from the two-wheeler.
The rescued reptile was identified as a spectacled cobra, a venomous species. Following the rescue operation, the snake was safely released into a dense forest area by the forest department personnel.
Social activists in the area have emphasized the need for caution, especially during the monsoon season.
