Joint teams are conducting inspections across Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy and Sangareddy districts. Forest officials, anti-poaching squads, local staff and volunteers are working together. They are checking major temples, markets and transport hubs. The teams are also rescuing snakes found with snake charmers. <h3>Eight teams deployed across three districts</h3> The department has formed eight special teams for the operation. Around 25 members of the Friends of Snakes Society are assisting forest officials. So far, the teams have rescued 17 cobras during the Nag Panchami operation. Forest Department chief Vinay Kumar recently held a meeting with senior officials. He directed them to take strict action against snake catching, harm and illegal transportation during the festival. <h3>Officials urge devotees to worship snake idols</h3> The Forest Department is also conducting awareness programmes at major temples. Officials are telling devotees that snakes cannot digest milk. Forcing snakes to consume milk can also put their health at risk. The department has urged people to worship snake idols instead of live snakes. Officials also said snakes enjoy legal protection under the Wild Life (Protection) Act. Catching or illegally transporting them is an offence. Forest teams will provide treatment to rescued snakes when necessary. Officials will release healthy snakes in suitable forest areas. The department has urged people to report live snakes kept by snake charmers or any suspected illegal capture to forest officials. ]]>
