Overview

• Rescuers from the Resqink Association for Wildlife Welfare responded to a Mulund society after residents reported the large python during heavy rains.
• The snake had climbed a tree and was stressed by onlookers, and RAWW said it could not exit the enclosed complex on its own.
• The rescue proceeded with Forest Department approval, followed by a medical evaluation by veterinarian Dr. Priti Sathe, who declared the python fit.
• The animal was released into suitable habitat in coordination with the Mumbai Range of the Thane Territorial Forest Department near the Sanjay Gandhi National Park periphery.
• Separate weather-related calls saw a green vine snake rescued in Juhu and a juvenile rock python recovered at a Powai construction site, with both released after officials were informed.
