Ten-feet-long python found in school kitchen, rescued
Mhow: A large python was found in the kitchen of a govt school in Baag town of Dhar district on Tuesday morning. It was later rescued.
Teacher Akhilesh Bhardwaj of the middle section of the Baag Higher Secondary School told TOI that Lalita Bai and Sona Bai were preparing mid-day meals in the kitchen.
At around 10 am, when Lalita went to a corner to fetch something, she saw the python and screamed loudly.
She told Sona that there was a big snake, and both of them ran out of the kitchen. At that time, students of the middle school were studying, and when they heard Lalita's scream, they, as well as other staff members, rushed towards the kitchen. Somebody among them called voluntary snake rescuer Vinod Pawar, who resides in the nearby locality. Pawar reached there and rescued the python safely. He later released it in a deep forest.
Pawar told TOI that the python was about ten-feet-long and weighed around 11kg. He said that he inspected the whole building and the kitchen, and advised the school staff to close the gap below the kitchen door.
