A snake sneaked into the Orissa assembly and slithered close to chief minister Naveen Patnaik’s chair forcing suspension of business on Thursday.
Officials declared the House ‘‘unsafe’’ after the snake was discovered by Bhisma Nayak, an assembly staff who was dusting furniture before the start of the proceedings. Snake charmers, who were called in, couldn’t catch the reptile, which was last seen by Nayak near the CM’s chair. The assembly witnessed a high drama of a different kind after the snake went missing as mysteriously as it had appeared. Nayak, who first saw the snake below the Speaker’s podium, informed senior officials, who summoned the Snake Helpline staff. By that time the snake had slipped under Patnaik’s seat. (If Patnaik would have been in the seat, they would have said 'yeh oppn ki chaal hai')
When the helpline experts couldn’t find the reptile even at 10.30am, the start of the assembly, bhajans dedicated to Lord Shiva were played (I guess playing the nagin song will be the next option) so that the snake would come out and the MLAs could get on with business. With no success, wildlife experts and sniffer dogs arrived. But after eight hours of frantic search, blowing hot air through vacuum cleaners into possible hideouts and breaking open flooring to check pipes and electrical wires, the snake remained elusive. ‘‘It was a cobra,’’ said Bholanath Behera, (Every1 is media savvy - cobra bolne pe zyada mileage hai) another assembly staff. ‘‘When I threw a stool at it, it sprayed its hood.’’
Snake Helpline’s Subhendu Mallick said he didn’t have a clue to how the snake had disappeared. ‘‘We couldn’t find it even after hours of search,’’ he said. ‘‘In my 21 years as an MLA, such a thing has never happened,’’ said Pradip Maharathy of BJD ( as if a lot of other things have happened....its Orissa buddy...nothing happens)
