How would you react when you see snakes, scorpions etc inside your houses under kitchen sinks etc? Terrible and shocking right!!
The news that has come out is that snakes and scorpions have been coming inside the houses of the residents belonging to Z block in Thirumangalam. It must be noted that the above said creatures come from thickets on an approximately 2acres of land that has been under litigation over a decade.
The snake catchers have become very busy now as the residents often call them to catch the snakes in their houses. During the rainy season, it has become a routine for the snakes to creep into the houses and the snakes have been spotted in their backyards or under the kitchen sink etc. In the last week of January, a snake was rescued from the area by the snake catcher.
It was brought out by a domestic helper that having pets in the houses is very challenging with snakes etc coming inside the houses. Not only snakes and scorpions have made the adjacent thickets as their homes but also the burglars and thieves etc. According to a resident belonging to Thirumangalam it was clear that crimes have increased in their locality now and this inspite of police patrol in the night time. The residents have given many complaints to the corporation regarding these issues and clearing of thickets etc. The truth is that the corporation officials were unable to do much regarding these issues faced by the residents here. There has been a legal dispute going on between TNHB and few individuals and due to this the thicket present on the land couldn’t be cleared.
It was mentioned by a senior officer belonging to TNHB in Thirumangalam that the case has been going on for many years and the final hearing would be on 21st of February.
