Sunabeda: A disaster was averted with the intervention of the authorities of a public school here on Wednesday when children ran helter-skelter after finding a snake inside a toilet commode.
The four-ft long Indian rat snake apparently created a scare on the campus forcing the alert authorities to summon Snake Helpline.
