We lost one of our leading workers, Joydev Mondal on April 18, 2014


Joydev caught two poisonous Monocled Cobra (Keute) from localities after receiving calls at our 'Snake Bite Helpline' and
he was on the way to drop them at Sajnekhali Forest under Forest Department, GOWB.
He had an accidental bite on the boat and was brought to Gosaba Rural Hospital for treatment where he later died.
We pay our homage to Joydeb and express our grief and solidarity to his bereaved family.
