Snake Trouble in Nagpur? Here’s Who You Need to Call – And Fast!

As the monsoon rains drench Nagpur, snake sightings are rising sharply — from urban lanes to rural farms. But there’s no need to panic. In a much-needed and life-saving initiative, a list of 18 verified “Sarpmitras” (snake rescuers) and wildlife volunteers across Nagpur city and rural areas has been officially released for public safety.

From Hingna to Hudkeshwar, Wadi to Kamptee, and Sitabuldi to Ganeshpeth — trained snake handlers are now just a call away. The list includes names, local areas they cover, and direct contact numbers. This move comes as monsoon forces snakes out of burrows into homes, schools, gardens, and offices, putting citizens at risk.

And here’s the harsh truth: one wrong move or delay in response can turn fatal. Many residents still rely on random untrained people or try to kill snakes — a dangerous, illegal act that can backfire horribly.

Instead, you can now call experts like Manoj Hingne (Hingna Rural, ?9422120248), Pravin Katole (Sonegaon, Airport, Solamala, ?9766777656), or Santosh Soni (Medical Sq, Ramdaspeth, ?9420082603). These volunteers are equipped, trained, and most importantly, dedicated to saving both human lives and snakes.

The Nagpur Forest Department and local authorities have backed this initiative to prevent panic, reduce snakebites, and protect wildlife.

Don’t risk your life — or the snake’s. Save this list. Share it. Use it.
Because when it’s a snake at your door, every second counts.
