In Shocking Video, 6-Foot Snake Creates Panic At Rishikesh Railway Station

Snakes, often perceived as deadly and dangerous, can evoke fear and panic in those who come across them. Their unexpected appearance, especially in public spaces, can quickly trigger an alarm, as shown in a recent video from Rishikesh railway station. A six-foot-long snake emerged onto the platform, startling passengers who were waiting for their train. This alarming sight in such a crowded area has raised considerable concern among social media users.

Video of the incident showing passengers running for cover as the snake slithers along the platform has gone viral on social media. While several hurried to get away, leaving their bags behind, some tried to alert others about the snake. The snake’s sudden appearance caught the passengers off guard as they tried to prevent a potential danger. The platform, which was packed a few minutes ago with commuters waiting for their trains, suddenly devolved into mayhem.

According to Amar Ujala, the Rishikesh railway authorities notified the forest department about the snake. After receiving information about the reptile, forest authorities tracked it out, captured it and released it back into its native environment.

Earlier in July, wildlife officers in Karnataka rescued a 12-foot-long King Cobra from a house compound and released it into the forest. After the state forest agency notified them about the reptile, personnel from the Agumbe Rainforest Research Station (ARRS) rushed to the location with the team. The rescue footage went viral on Instagram and other social media sites.

ARRS officer Ajay Giri, who shared the viral video on Instagram, said the villages spotted a 12-foot-long king cobra crossing a busy road. The snake was spooked by the spectators and took refuge in a bush inside a house compound. The forest department was notified of the situation by terrified residents, who then notified ARRS.
