Ghaziabad Car Snake: An incident came to light on Wednesday morning in Ghaziabad district of Delhi-NCR, which can give goosebumps to anyone. Suddenly a dangerous cobra snake came out from near the dashboard of a car running at a speed of 80 km/hour on the busy elevated road under Indirapuram police station area of Ghaziabad. As soon as the hooded cobra was seen right in front of the girl driving the car, she was shocked.
To save her life, the girl quickly stopped the car in the middle of the elevated road and jumped out. The fortunate thing was that at the same time, a brave constable deployed on the crane of the traffic police passing by, with his wisdom, not only rescued the snake safely but also saved it from a major accident.
Call came in front while going to office early in the morning
According to the information received, Meenakshi Sharma, resident of Shriram Heights Society of Rajnagar Extension, works in a private company in Noida. As usual, she left for office in her car at around 9.30 am on Wednesday.
When she reached Kanavani on the elevated road, suddenly a snake came crawling from near the dashboard of the car. When Meenakshi saw the cobra just a few inches away right in front of the driving seat, she was horrified. At that time, the vehicles were moving at very high speed on the elevated road, but without wasting any time, Meenakshi stopped the car in the middle of the road and immediately came out. Frightened, he immediately dialed 112 (police helpline) and informed about it.
Traffic police constable Om Prakash arrived as a messiah
Meanwhile, a crane of the traffic department going for VIP duty at UP Gate was passing by. When constable Om Prakash, deployed on the crane, saw an abandoned car in the middle of the elevated road and found a dejected girl nearby, he immediately stopped his crane.
When constable Om Prakash asked Meenakshi the reason for stopping the car in the middle of the road, she said tremblingly, “There is a poisonous cobra snake inside the car!” On hearing this, constable Om Prakash showed courage without fear and took charge along with home guard Deepak.
Imprisoned in a water can with the help of a stick
Constable Om Prakash very carefully took out the snake hidden inside the car with the help of a stick. After taking it out, without hurting the cobra, he safely closed it inside a plastic can of water nearby.
The constable told that the snake caught was a very poisonous cobra, whose length was about three to four feet. Later this snake was safely handed over to the Forest Department team.
A big accident was avoided by timely understanding
The fixed speed of vehicles on this elevated road of Ghaziabad is 80 kilometers per hour, where vehicles move at full speed. In such a situation, a snake coming near your feet or on the dashboard while driving at high speed could cause a major accident. It was Meenakshi’s good luck and wisdom that even in panic, she controlled the vehicle and stopped it.
After the snake was caught, PRV also reached the spot. During this entire incident, there was a long queue of vehicles on the elevated road for some time, which the traffic police immediately cleared with promptness. After this Meenakshi left for her office. The passersby present at the spot praised the courage of brave constable Om Prakash and home guard Deepak, who saved the life of the woman and safely rescued the cobra.
