Hyderabad: As the city has been experiencing regular rainfall since the past few days, city folks need to be more careful of snakes.

On Monday 14 snakes were rescued by the Friends of Snakes Society (FoSS) including seven cobras and two Russell’s vipers. One can contact the FoSS help line 8374233366 or Telangana forest department at 18004255365 any part of the day if a snake is sighted.
