In the second incident of its kind within one week, the presence of a meter-long snake at Islamabad Airport on Tuesday made people run for cover, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

On seeing the snake, which reportedly came out of the state lounge, both the passengers as well as the airport staff got panicky and ran in order to save their lives.

However, soon the personnel of the airport’s security force appeared at the scene and killed the snake much to the relief of the terror-stricken people.

It is reminded here that hardly three days ago, on August 7, a snake had appeared at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport, spreading panic and fear in people, particularly among the airport staff.

Quoting sources the TV channel reported that although the staff clubbed the snake to death, which reportedly came out of one of the rooms of the fire station, still there were reports of the presence of more snakes in these rooms.

It was speculated that the snake might have entered one of the fire station rooms from the bushes surrounding the runway.
