Janaki Devi, who was catching snakes since the age of 12:
By the way, Janaki Devi has gained fame as the Snake Lady in Bihar. According to locals, Janaki Devi has been involved in snake rescue work since the age of just 12. She has earned the admiration of the people by safely catching thousands of poisonous snakes in the last four decades and releasing them into the wild.
51 snake bites:
The surprising thing is that even though poisonous snakes have bitten her more than 50 times so far, Janaki Devi has survived every time and is involved in snake rescue work again. It is said that if snakes enter the houses, Janaki Devi goes to the place without taking any money, catches them and releases them safely in the nearby forest.
Forest Department Appeal:
Meanwhile, Valmikinagar Forest Zone Officer Satyam Kumar said, ‘It is common for snakes to enter villages during the rainy season and seasonal change. He appealed to the public not to try to catch snakes themselves. Instead, if they inform the Forest Department, trained personnel will safely conduct rescue operations.
