A first‑year pupil was bitten by a snake while eating lunch at a Kolkata school. The child was immediately escorted to a nearby hospital where he is currently receiving medical care. School officials have not yet released details about the snake species or the exact location within the school grounds where the incident occurred. The school is cooperating with local authorities to determine how the snake entered the premises and to assess the safety measures in place during break times.
Parents of the affected student have expressed concern about campus safety and are calling for stricter security checks, especially during the tiffin break. School administrators are reviewing their protocols and have pledged to prevent a recurrence. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about wildlife encounters in urban educational settings.
