Visuals showed the forest department official cutting the net in which the python was trapped, while another assisted him.
In another image, the official was seen holding the leopard that had been rescued and was entangled in his hand.
According to reports, Salim Karol, a resident of Sawantwadi, noticed a python trapped in a net in the stream flowing near his house during the afternoon. He immediately reported this to the forest department. Accordingly, the rescue team of Sawantwadi forest ranger Madan Kshirsagar, forest guard Ramesh Patil, and forest assistant Baban Redkar promptly reached the spot.
The 7-foot-long python was trapped in a nylon net placed at the mouth of the drain. The python had tightly wrapped the nylon mesh around itself, posing a risk of injury. Finally, the forest department’s rescue team cut the net with a nylon net cutter and safely released the snake back into its natural habitat.
Mr. Salim Karol was thanked by the Forest Department for providing timely information at the Forest Department office.
The rescue was conducted by the conservator of Forests in Sawantwadi under the guidance of Navkishore Reddy, Assistant Conservator of Forests Sunil Lad, Conservator of Forests Madan Kshirsagar, Conservator of Forests Ramesh Patil, Assistant Conservator of Forests Baban Redkar, Ramdas Jangle, and Devendra Sawant.
