Snake at centre of drama on St Mary’s Road

A small live drama caught the attention of motorists and passersby on St. Mary’s Road in R A Puram on Monday evening and the focus of attention was a large snake.

Onlookers began to gather outside a bungalow after a Fire Service engine and its men landed here to locate the creature and trap it.

Onlookers said that the snake was first noticed by the inmates of the house and that it had slithered into the bushes around.

As the operation was on buses, cars and motorists slowed down, curious at the happening on the side of the road.
