Bhatkal, June 7: Police in the town have asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell 'Maa' mango fruit juice after a dead snake was found in a 200 ml tetra pack purchased by a local resident.

One of the two persons, who fell ill after consuming the juice from the snake-filled Maa pack three days ago, has still not recovered and undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kundapur.

Sayyad Mohammad Safwan, a resident of Good Luck road in Bhatkal had bought some tetra packs of the juice for consumption last Monday.

When his sister Saheefa (22) was drinking the juice using a straw, she felt some problem in sipping the juice. Her mother Umme Salma (45) also tried to sip the juice with help of straw. She grew suspicious and opened the packet slightly to witness a six-inch long dead snake inside the pack.

Within minutes both mother and daughter began vomiting and they were shifted to a hospital immediately.

Later, Safwan informed about the snake-filled pack to the owner of 'A-1 Bakery', from where he had bought it and in turn the owner informed the manufacturers.

On Wednesday Bhatkal town police asked all the soft drink sellers not to sell any tetra pack of 'Maa' bearing manufacturing date of March 17, 2012 and batch number B1233.

Shock

Sources said that the mother and daughter who shared the poisonous juice are still under shock. Though the mother has slightly recovered, she is still not taking food properly.

Dr Jalaluddin, who is treating the victims, said that the duo need some time to forget the incident and recover completely. However, he confirmed that both were out of danger.

Mangaluru, May 19: Officials at the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) said that Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada along with Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru have been alerted about possible heavy rains.

Dr GS Srinivasa Reddy, Director, KSNDMC, said, “Coastal districts have already been witnessing heavy downpour since Monday morning. This will continue for another two days depending on the cyclonic movement along the east coast.”

Until last evening, Haleyangadi and Surathkal in Dakshina Kannada district had received 83 mm and 82.5 mm of rainfall, respectively. Several other areas in Udupi also witnessed heavy rainfall of about 60 to 70 mm rainfall.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributed the rain, which intensified on Monday, to a cyclonic circulation over parts of the Arabian Sea (Comorin area) off the coast of Kerala.

The weather department said the sudden convergence of wind over the peninsular region was due to Super Cyclone Amphan, which is set to barrel into the east coast. The IMD issued an Yellow Alert for coastal Karnataka and Malnad, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall in the next few days.
