In retaliation, she, along with other snakes, attacked and killed four domesticated animals worth thousands of rupees. A young man narrowly escaped the snake’s attack, spreading fear and panic throughout the area. The residents are now afraid to leave their homes at night.
According to details, during the excavation for the construction of a house in the villages of Chanuian and Bharaiyan, a few baby snakes were killed. In response, the angry mother snake, along with other snakes, bit and killed a goat, a dog, a chicken, and a cat.

The snake also attacked a young man, but fortunately, he managed to escape unharmed. Following the incident, fear and panic have gripped the area, with locals reluctant to venture outside at night.
Locals have reported that the snakes are highly venomous, as the goat, dog, chicken, and cat died within minutes of being bitten. It is worth noting that a few weeks ago in a nearby area of Hattian Bala, a person killed a snake, and the next day, another snake attacked and fatally bit the man in retaliation.
Doctors have advised the public to take precautions this month to avoid snake bites, as snakes are more likely to be found near water, in bushes, and in fields during this time.
Doctors recommend that people carry torches at night, wear shoes while walking, and if anyone is bitten by a snake, they should be immediately rushed to the District Headquarters Hospital in Hattian Bala to prevent the loss of life.
