12-foot python rescued from a house in Mongla

A python, measuring about 12 feet in length, was rescued from a residential house near the Sundarbans in Mongla upazila of Bagerhat. The snake was spotted near the cowshed and kitchen of Mostafa Sheikh's house in Agladia village under Sundarbans union on Monday morning, causing panic among family members.

Later, locals cordoned off the snake carefully to prevent it from spreading into the locality. Upon receiving the information, members of the Forest Department's Village Tiger Response Team (VTRT) quickly arrived at the scene and skillfully rescued the snake.

After the rescue, the VTRT members safely released the python deep into the Sundarbans. The Forest Department stated that pythons often come to localities in search of food, and since Agladia village is close to the Sundarbans, wild animals are occasionally spotted there.
