The city of Hyderabad, India, has been grappling with the aftermath of heavy rains that have caused widespread flooding. The downpour has not only disrupted daily life but has also led to unexpected encounters with wildlife. One such incident occurred on Saturday evening near the Mir Alam Tank in Hassannagar, where a massive Burmese python was spotted, causing a stir among locals.
Videos circulating on social media captured the six-foot-long reptile as it slithered across the flooded streets. The snake's appearance sparked panic and drew crowds of onlookers who were both curious and apprehensive about the potentially dangerous encounter. However, a professional snake rescuer, Mir Shakeel Ali, was able to safely capture the python.
Ali's quick action prevented any potential harm to the snake or the public. After the capture, the python was released back into its natural habitat, demonstrating the importance of responsible wildlife management during extreme weather events. The incident highlights the impact of heavy rains on ecosystems and the potential for unexpected interactions with wildlife.
The city's flood situation is exacerbated by the overflowing of streams and rivers, further disrupting transportation and daily life. Schools and colleges were closed on Monday, and the city's traffic police urged companies to allow their employees to work from home. The weather department issued a red alert, warning of heavy to extremely heavy rains in various districts of Telangana and neighboring Andhra Pradesh. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has been deployed in Hyderabad and Vijayawada to assist with the flood situation.
