Kerala's Mannar faces snake threat as floods drive reptiles into homes
Dangerous snakes, such as cobras, have begun entering houses in western Mannar, Kerala, after rising floodwaters pushed them out of their usual environments. As residents returned to tidy up their properties, they discovered snakes concealed within bedding and kitchenware stored on elevated spots. The regions of Vallakkali Pavukkara and Vishavarsherikkara have been hit particularly hard, leaving locals worried that the danger will persist.
