Horrified villagers living in fear after hundreds of venomous snakes escape farm as floodwaters crush city

The snake farm’s operators said they are cooperating fully with emergency services to determine exactly how many animals escaped and to reinforce remaining enclosures once flood conditions improve. Officials have also launched an investigation into whether adequate flood protection measures were in place before the severe weather hit.

Meanwhile, rescue efforts continue across the flood-hit region as authorities focus on helping displaced families, restoring infrastructure, and reducing ongoing risks to public safety.

Residents are being encouraged to stay informed through official emergency updates and to avoid attempting to capture snakes themselves, leaving the task to trained wildlife professionals.
