Cobra in Parliament

A cobra that had entered the main hall of Parliament through the MPs' special entrance was captured by a Police Officer and subsequently handed over to the officials of the Wildlife Department yesterday. 

An employee had spotted the cobra around 8:45 a.m. yesterday and asked the Policemen to get rid of it just in case it did not take too kindly to an MP on either side of the Chamber. The Diyawanna's profusion of pythons and vipers have of late taken a keen interest in seeking entry into Parliament.
