A dead snake reportedly found in a mid-day meal packet for children at an Anganwadi in Sangli, Maharashtra, has sparked concerns. The incident was reported by a child's parents, and officials have initiated lab tests for safety assurance.

A shocking incident has come to light in Sangli district, Maharashtra, where a tiny dead snake was allegedly found in a mid-day meal packet distributed at an Anganwadi. The meal, intended for children aged six months to three years, was a premix of dal khichadi.

Parents reported the alarming discovery to Anganwadi officials on Monday. Anandi Bhosale, vice-president of the state Anganwadi workers' union, confirmed the claims, although district officials have yet to verify the incident.

Local authorities, including Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Sangli Zilla Parishad Sandip Yadav, inspected the site and sent the meal packet for laboratory testing. Repeated attempts to contact Yadav for further comments have been unsuccessful.
