Rescue operation by wildlife research organisation in Nashik
The volunteers of a non-government wildlife research organisation in Maharashtra rescued a highly venomous snake, an Indian spectacled cobra from an abandoned well in Nashik on Sunday.
"We received a call about a snake stuck in a well. When we reached the location, we saw the snake was exhausted. The well was full of water and it had no platform to rest on," Vaibhav Bhogale, a volunteer with Eco Foundation said.
