Chandigarh, July 11

With monsoon season going on, it is always advisable to be careful before wearing shoes. Our elders often told us to slightly hit the shoes on the floor a couple of times and wait for a few seconds before wearing them. This is because our shoes can have deadly insects or reptiles hiding inside.

Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda recently shared a clip showing the rescue of a cobra from a shoe. Taking to Twitter, the officer has warned people to be careful as snakes can be found at oddest possible places in monsoon.

“You will find them at oddest possible places in monsoons. Be careful. Take help of trained personnel,” Nanda said in the caption. Further in his post, he informed that the video he shared was a WhatsApp forward.

In the clip, a girl can be seen pushing a snake-catching rod to catch the reptile hidden inside the shoe. Soon, the cobra pops its head out and looks around. The trained personnel is then heard explaining why it is necessary to dust the shoes before wearing them. She further adds that it is important to be alert and cautious especially during monsoon.
