Fortunately, the school was closed as it was a Sunday, so there was no loss of life. Sources said the school bus was parked in the driver`s village.

Some goats were running next to the bus and the snake was probably attracted by them. However, the locals raised a hue and cry when they spotted the serpent. The snake then slithered into the bus to hide.
