Armed with a recent sting operation video, the NGO sent a representation to collector Vipin Itankar who ensured to examine the supernatural recovery approaches in the tehsil, 40 kms from Nagpur.
The NGO said that they had actually taped the deaths of 3 ladies however much more have actually passed away of snake bite in Ramtek as bua baazi has actually been going on uncontrolled.
Recently, the WWS volunteers, including its secretary Nitish Bhandakkar, took among their members to a tantrik to get a snake bite dealt with.
“We pricked a needle on his skin to portray it as a snake bite. The tantrik started reciting some mantras and used a broom and smoke to flush out venom,” he said.
Bhandakkar said a 42-year-old lady from Sawara town passed away on May 17 followed by another 27-year-old from Tuyapar on June 26 and a 28-year old from Neemtola. The WWS members were called by some alert villagers however their households didn’t move the victims to health center.
“Every time we received information about a snake bite victim, we called up their relatives to convince them about the risk of not seeking medical treatment. Most of them would agree over phone but they would not heed our advice. Some reached the hospital late,” he said.
The WWS has actually required action versus such conventional therapists. The NGO said it has actually up until now saved the lives of a minimum of 100 snake bite victims by bringing them to medical colleges in Nagpur on time where they were administered anti-venom injections.
