Early Wednesday morning, a 26-year-old woman died from a snake bite in Aarey Milk Colony. The event has amplified the longstanding demand by local residents for a well-equipped government hospital to ensure timely medical treatment during emergencies.

The recent incident occurred around 2.30 am when the woman identified as Komal Gadekar Patekar, her husband and their one-year-old daughter were asleep at home. The woman's father-in-law said, “My daughter-in-law screamed and told us about being bitten by the snake on her leg. We saw the snake was still in the room.”
