In an unexpected event that created a buzz across the town, a massive python was discovered in Sutiyapara, a village in Barpeta district, Assam. The snake, measuring about six feet in length, was found resting on a bamboo tree near a pond on the outskirts of the village. The sighting was first made by a few local residents who quickly informed others, leading to a large crowd gathering around the area to witness the unusual occurrence.

The incident took place in the early hours of the day when villagers noticed the snake coiled up in the branches of the bamboo tree. Concerned yet intrigued, the locals decided to seek help from one of their own, Manjit Pathak, a resident of Sutiyapara, who took the lead in rescuing the snake. With the assistance of other villagers, Manjit carefully extracted the python from its resting place.

Forest department officials noted that the python was in good health and unharmed. They commended the quick actions of the local community in ensuring the snake was rescued without causing harm to it or to the people present. The python has since been moved to a safer location, away from the village.
