A 15 feet Burmese Rock Python was rescued from the Matiapahar Tea Estate factory this morning, where it had probably sneaked in to escape the overnight rains. A women worker got the scare of her life when she stepped on the monstrous snake after reporting for work and raised the alarm. The morning shift workers informed the tea garden management and they summoned Green Guard Nature Organization rescue specialist Dulu Bora. Members of Green Guard and forest staff reached the factory, where a crowd had gathered to watch. Dulu initially found it hard to control the powerful constrictor and the snake wrapped itself around his body. While several of the onlookers recoiled at the sight of Dulu struggling to control it, a few managed the courage to disentangle the python. To his credit, Dulu had a firm grip on the head all the while. The 26 kg snake was later released at Bagheghati, close to the Swang RF, Chapanala, Nagaon, in the presence of the Beat Officer, Chapanala Forest Dept.
