Rokkam Kiran Kumar has earned a remarkable reputation as a fearless snake rescuer in Visakhapatnam. With extraordinary skill and courage, he has rescued over 10,000 snakes, both venomous and non-venomous, using only his bare hands.
Before the construction of the Vizag Steel Plant, many snakes would frequently crawl into populated areas. Recognizing the importance of preserving wildlife, Kiran Kumar dedicated himself to safely capturing and relocating these snakes back to their natural forest habitats, preventing harm to both the reptiles and local residents.
His unique ability and commitment have made him a local hero and an important figure in wildlife conservation efforts across the region.
