Panic gripped residents of Manipur Lakhanpada in Ganjad village, Dahanu taluka in Maharashtra's Palghar, on Sunday afternoon, November 2, after a massive python — measuring nearly 10 feet in length and weighing around 30 to 35 kilograms — was found in the area.

Swift action by local snake rescuers ensured the reptile was safely captured and handed over to the forest department.
