Snake enters car and is rescued near Amloh road in Ludhiana
LUDHIANA: There was a commotion after a snake suddenly entered the car of a bank manager near Amloh Road on Wednesday afternoon. As per reports, Bank Manager Hardeep Singh parked his car near Amloh Chowk on GT Road and was busy working inside the bank when, at the same time,
Ajay
, who owns a nearby tea shop, saw the snake entering the car.
Reports suggest that Ajay immediately informed the manager.
As soon as the news spread, some people tried to get the snake out, but it did not come out. After this, the rescue team was called. Manik Kapoor, in charge of the rescue team, pulled out the snake after much effort. "The snake that entered the car was 4 feet long."
Manik
said that if the snake was not removed on time, it could have been a bigger danger.
A rescue team member said that the snake was hiding in the overgrown grass near the bank on the highway and entered the car in search of a safe place.
He added that after several hours of effort, the snake was caught and would be released safely in the forest. Manik Kapoor appealed to people that due to the reduction of forests, animals are coming to human settlements, so check carefully before getting into a vehicle. He added that if bitten by a snake, one should go to the hospital immediately and seek medical help.
Manik said that during rainy days, snakes often enter vehicles, houses, or shops in search of a dry and warm place. He advised people not to ignore any suspicious movement and to seek expert help immediately. Meanwhile, the bank manager breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the rescue team.

7 expert tips to become your child's safe space
Parenting is a journey of irreparable beauty and deep challenges. As soon as you are a parent, your life is changed forever — your heart is softened, your patience is deeper and your mind more attuned. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now You are no longer living for yourself; you are caring for a small soul, moulding a life and leading it with love, dedication and boundless care. Each smile, each tear, each minor achievement is a witness to the great responsibility and boundless joys of childrearing. If you are looking for ways to become your child's 'safe space' while nurturing emotional security and attachment, John Bowlby's Attachment Theory teaches that children thrive when they perceive a caregiver as a 'secure base' — someone whom they trust to return to when exploring the world. Bowlby asserted, 'When conditions were favourable an infant moves away from mother on exploratory excursions and returns to her again from time to time. This concept of secure base is crucial for understanding how an emotionally stable person develops.' How strict parenting can impact children negatively Studies show that the Circle of Security–Parenting (COS‑P) enhances caregiver sensitivity and reflective functioning, significantly strengthening attachment security. For example, one study ( Enhancing foster care relationships through attachment-based intervention: the safe families study protocol, a randomized controlled trial of the circle of security parenting program published in BMC Psychology ) found that COS‑P led to 'a significant reduction in insensitive maternal behaviours' and another documented improvements in reflective functioning among mothers. Tips to connect with your child: Here are parenting rules that build unbreakable bonds (Image: TOI) A deeper understanding of your child's inner world — termed reflective functioning — is central to becoming a consistent, emotionally supportive presence. Research paper Parent-Child Attachment: A Principle-Based Concept Analysis demonstrates that maternal sensitivity or accurately perceiving and responding to a child's signals, is strongly linked to secure attachment. It also emphasised that parents with high reflective capacity are more emotionally attuned, which supports healthier development. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In an interview with TOI, Yukta Sharma, Parenting Enthusiast and New Mom Mentor, suggested the following foundational and actionable ways to become your child's safe - Bond with your kids emotionally Through emotional bonding, your child feels most secure in their mental health. When your child feels emotionally close to you, they trust you and are comfortable sharing anything with you. Listen to your child First of all, listen to your child without interrupting. Whatever they tell you is wrong or right, hear them out completely. Don't lash out instantly—keep calm and empathetic. It is the key to being your child's best friend. Provide peaceful environment at home Every parent needs these powerful truths about raising emotionally secure kids (Image: iStock) Provide a peaceful environment at home. Peace starts with a clear mind, so be cautious about what you do in front of your children. Talk nicely and softly to your spouse in front of them, because child often learn and copy what they see. Have fun playing indoor and outdoor games together with your child Not only does physical activity help to keep their minds healthy, but it brings you closer to them, forms happy memories. Establish daily routines and rules When children know what is going on every day, they are safe and secure. Stability keeps their stress away and anxiety at bay. Encourage your child Praise your child and encourage your child occasionally. A word of appreciation or a word of praise can boost their confidence, make them feel happy, and motivate them to do even better. Do not compare your child to others Comparing them or lecturing them for grades or other accomplishments makes them feel less than others. Comparing them can make an everlasting mark by deflating their confidence because what they learn as a kid stays with them for life. These are some of the most important parenting behaviours that are also essential to the mental well-being of a child. You are a different you at every stage of your child's life hence, evolving to what you see is optimum for them. Ultimately, every parent wants to give their child the best — in feelings, love, values and learning.

MCC to undertake deer census on 365-acre campus
Chennai: Madras Christian College, one of the few campuses with a thriving wildlife population, is planning to undertake a deer census. According to the previous census conducted in 2022, it has 85 to 90 spotted deer on its 365-acre campus. Due to the college's various initiatives, the campus has witnessed the birth of many fawns in recent times, indicating an increase in its population. The Wildlife Conservation Club and Scrub Society, the two clubs within the college, will jointly organise the census from the last week of Aug.

Student volunteers from both clubs will be involved in the census. It will be conducted once every two weeks for a year," said Anita Pearline Esther, president of Scrub Society and a faculty member from the department of zoology, MCC. The census is also expected to reveal more about the behaviour of the deer and the plants they favour, among other details. "We are also planning to undertake a campaign among students through skits and street plays against domesticating the wild animals. Students offer the animals biscuits, among other edible items which are not healthy for them. This awareness will help us to protect them," said S Saranya, vice-president of the Wildlife Conservation Club. In collaboration with Blue Cross, the club also sterilized and vaccinated 41 dogs and two cats on the campus to reduce the threat to deer and other animals. The club is exploring innovative strategies to avoid conflict between wildlife and domestic animals. "We are exploring a data-driven landscaping project to map and separate natural territories for wild animals to reduce conflicts often triggered by the search for food," said Paul Wilson, principal of the college and president of the Wildlife Conservation Club. The campus also has peafowl, snakes, mongooses, porcupines, and hares. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Even as several schools and institutions celebrated Independence Day in unique ways, patriotism took on an inclusive hue at DPS GBN where over 700 students sang the national anthem while a portion of them simultaneously performed it in sign language.
