The snake was spotted Tuesday at the wood burn block in the hospital. It was traced after a day-long search and killed Wednesday.
"It is true that a snake has been spotted in the wood burn block. The snake has been killed and what I have come to know from the officials is that it was viper kind of a snake," said Provash Chakraborty, medical superintendent of the hospital.
"It is really alarming. But we are taking all measures to prevent repetition of such an incident," said Chakraborty.
