A 13-foot-long Indian python was safely rescued from a farm in Kalhat, Maval, thanks to the alertness of a local farmer and the prompt action from the Maval Wildlife Rescue team. Bandu Pawar, a farmer, spotted the large snake resting motionless in his field and immediately informed the wildlife organisation. Following this, the Maval Wildlife Rescue team, comprising Jigar Solanki, Akash Owhal, Vicky Daundkar, Sahil Landge, and Ketika Kasetwar, promptly coordinated with the forest department and rushed to the site.

Pawar said, “I was working in the farm when I noticed something strange in the field. I realised it was a big python, so I called the rescue team.” Villagers kept a close watch on the python for nearly two hours to ensure it remained undisturbed until the rescue team arrived, safely captured the snake without harming it.
