Farmers working in the fields and people walking around in rural areas often have to face snakes. Snakes are commonly found in forests, fields, grasslands and wooded areas. Most people are afraid of snakes. However, some people go near them without any fear and do dangerous tricks with them. One such video is going viral on social media these days. In this viral video, a farmer is working in his field when a blue cobra suddenly emerges from the ground. The snake then gets up, hisses and knocks the farmer unconscious. He immediately retreated in fear and tried to push the snake away. However, the blue snake remained motionless for some time. It is said that he then slowly moved towards a tree and disappeared. Snake catchers say that this type of blue snake is very rare. He says it is more likely to come out after the rainy season ends or when the weather changes. Farmers and villagers are advised to stay away from such snakes and not to kill them, but to inform the Forestry Department officials. This video of a blue snake is making headlines on social media. Netizens are surprised to see the color of the snake and ask in the comment section if such a beautiful snake really exists or if this video was created with AI.

New Delhi, December 3 (IANS). West Bengal Leader of Opposition (LoP) Suvendu Adhikari has urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to take steps to ‘secure’ the second phase of Special Intensive Review (SIR) when the hearing on appeals on the draft electoral roll begins. In his letter to the Election Commission, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader sought “immediate intervention” of the election body to appoint micro-observers while hearing the demands, objections and submission of documents of voters for inclusion, deletion or correction of names in the draft list. He also requested to keep such observers from the central government employees just to maintain neutrality. They have raised concerns about alleged manipulation of electoral rolls by government officials, and have received serious and persistent reports of undue influence being exercised at this stage to intervene. Incidentally, the SIR process has become a political issue since it started this year. While the Election Commission calls the process fair, opposition parties argue that it is being misused and disenfranchising legitimate voters. The ongoing debate over Bangladeshi infiltration further heightens political tensions. West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress launched several anti-SIR movements led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. The party has alleged that several Booth Level Officers (BLOs) are falling sick repeatedly, even losing their lives under the pressure of work and voters committing suicide for fear of losing their voting rights. The electoral body strongly defended the SIR process and dismissed allegations of mass withdrawal as politically motivated. The case is currently being considered by the Supreme Court, with the Election Commission saying claims of mass withdrawal in West Bengal are “grossly exaggerated” and politically motivated. It emphasized that summary forms have already been given to 99 percent of voters in the state. Meanwhile, there were reports of some Bangladeshi nationals gathering at the West Bengal border in an attempt to return home. Amid concerns about the SIR process, the incident further intensified political rhetoric about infiltration. MS/DKP Share this story Tags
