After a three-year-old lady died of a snake chunk on Thursday morning in Sector 117, the residents’ welfare affiliation (RWA) of the sector has demanded that the Noida authority perform cleansing of empty plots recurrently in order that such incidents doesn’t recur.
According to Kulsinder Yadav, president of Sector 117 RWA, the kid was bit by a snake early Thursday, round 2.30am whereas she was sleeping.
“There are several empty plots in our sector and some migrant workers have made temporary shanties near them and are living in them. Last night, around 2.30am, Santosh Ahliwal, who works as a mason in the sector, woke up to his daughter Rani’s screams. At first, Ahliwal and his wife thought their daughter had a nightmare but when she didn’t stop, they took her to a nearby hospital. However, before they reached there, Rani had turned blue and doctors declared her dead on arrival. The doctors informed the parents that their child had been bitten by a snake in the leg,” stated Yadav.
When the household returned to their shanty, they discovered a snake within the mattress by which they had been sleeping, he added.
“By this time, other residents of the sector had also gathered near Ahliwal’s shanty. We tried to capture the snake, but it slithered away,” stated Yadav.
Ahliwal has now left for his village in Hamirpur district to hold out the final rites for his daughter, stated the opposite residents.
“There are many plots are lying vacant in sectors 116 and 117, where overgrown bushes have become a safe spot for poisonous reptile. Residents are forced to live in fear as snakes are often spotted around the sector. Now, we have lost a young child to snake bite. We have requested the Noida authority to clean all empty plots in the sector so that such an unfortunate incident does not recur,” stated Yadav.
