In an unusual incident, the surgical ward at the district hospital in Perinthalmanna, Malappuram district, Kerala, had to be temporarily closed after the discovery of 10 baby cobras inside and around the ward. The presence of the venomous snakes prompted authorities to take immediate action to ensure the safety of patients and staff.
The hospital administration, in coordination with snake experts and wildlife officials, swiftly conducted a thorough search to locate and remove the cobras. The ward was subsequently closed for further inspection and necessary measures to prevent any future intrusion of snakes.
The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security measures in place at the hospital.
