According to onmanorama.com, Roshni G.S, a 33 year old beat forest officer at Paruthippally range under the Kallar Eco-Tourism, was among those who cleared the ‘evaluation and assessment’ of the snake conservation programme.
“I was never scared of snakes. It was very interesting to handle a cobra during the training. The training taught me of the scientific methods of handling snakes without hurting it. Usually, a good number of snakes rescued by snake-catchers die soon after they are released into the forest. That is because they suffer injuries during the catch. Snake-catchers too suffer fatal injuries due to improper handling,” Roshni was quoted in the report.
