GHSPCA and People For Animals volunteers rescued five cobras from Shalibanda and Moghalpura during Naga Panchami. Two snakes were cleared for immediate release, two are under medical observation and another remains critical, highlighting growing public awareness about wildlife rescue

Hyderabad: Volunteers from the Greater Hyderabad Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GHSPCA) and People For Animals (PFA) rescued five cobra snakes, three from Shalibanda and two from Moghalpura, during the Naga Panchami festival.

GHSPCA noted an encouraging shift in public awareness, with residents proactively alerting volunteers rather than harming the reptiles. Following the operations, Dr. Vishva Chaitanya examined all five snakes at Vishva’s Pet Clinic, and two cobras were found fit for immediate release into their natural habitat. Another two require roughly 10 days of medical observation, while one remains in critical condition under intensive care.
