A 40-year-old woman was bitten by a venomous snake while digging soil in Kemai village (Ward No. 4) of Soneep Panchayat, Bhabanipur block, Purnia district. Following the snakebite, the woman's condition rapidly deteriorated, prompting her family to rush her to the Bhabanipur Community Health Center for treatment. The victim has been identified as Budhani Devi, wife of Boku Mandal, a resident of Kemai village.

According to family members, Budhani Devi had gone to a nearby field to collect soil for household work. As she reached out to pick up the soil, a snake hidden in the mud and grass bit her on her right hand. Immediately after the bite, blood started flowing from her hand, and the effects of the venom caused her condition to become critical. Hearing her cries, family members arrived and promptly took her to Bhabanipur hospital without resorting to traditional healers.

Upon arrival at the hospital, healthcare workers immediately administered anti-venom and initiated primary treatment. Dr. S.K. Chaudhary, ANM Manju Kumari, and other medical staff are continuously monitoring Budhani Devi's condition. Dr. Chaudhary stated that the woman's condition remains serious due to the snakebite, and she is under intensive medical observation. If her condition does not show the expected improvement, she will be referred to the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH), Purnia, for advanced and specialized treatment.
