In a chilling sequence of events, a residential neighborhood has been gripped by fear after a venomous snake claimed the life of an 11-year-old boy while he was asleep in his bed. The tragic incident has shattered the family, marking what they describe as a recurring nightmare involving deadly reptiles over the past decade and a half.
A Recurring Nightmare: Fourth Snake Bite in 15 Years
According to grieving family members, this is not an isolated tragedy. About 15 years ago, a young daughter in the family lost her life to a snake bite. Years later, two women in the same household were also bitten by venomous snakes, though timely medical intervention saved their lives on those occasions. Unfortunately, their luck ran out when young Ayush Khan was bitten during the dead of night, and despite rushing him to the hospital by morning, doctors could not revive him.
Waterlogging and Poor Sanitation to Blame
Following the tragedy, local residents have expressed immense anger toward local civic authorities. Neighbors allege that severe waterlogging and poor garbage disposal have plagued the locality for a long time, creating ideal breeding grounds for venomous snakes and scorpions. Residents have urgently demanded a permanent solution to the drainage issues and thorough sanitation drives to ensure no other family suffers such a devastating loss.
