A pair of snakes became a topic of gossip for tens of passersby & local residents gathered at UIT Bridge today afternoon. The issue started when people spotted two snakes at the parched canal close to Vedanta Health Centre.

Very few people, including UT, were privileged to see the rare scene. However, there was a large enthusiastic crowd that gathered and waited long after the disappearance of the snakes with a hope of getting a glimpse.

“They were a pair of male and female and are often seen in this area” – said one of the local residents who did not wish to disclose his identity.

As the news spread all over the city, local media also came to capture the photographs, but only few were fortunate to capture the moment.
