Summary
- Physics student bitten by snake while operating water motor.
- Student's condition critical initially, later stabilized.
- Students previously petitioned for maintenance work.
A snakebite incident at the Thanthai Periyar Govt College government hostel in Trichy has led to a student being hospitalized. The third-year BSc physics student was bitten on Friday morning while activating a water motor. His condition was critical at the time of admission but improved by Saturday morning.
Students reportedly had submitted a petition a month prior, seeking essential maintenance for the hostel premises. They also raised these concerns during a recent meeting with the higher education minister. College officials have stated that they had requested the Trichy corporation to clear bushes on campus, with an inspection conducted last week, though the work was deemed incomplete.
The college principal indicated plans to meet with the corporation commissioner to address the issue further, with education department officials promising clearance of overgrown vegetation within a week.
