The book named 'Snakes of Himachal Pradesh' has been compiled and edited by Omesh Kumar Bharti and DD Bisht, Principal of the State Health and Family Welfare Institute. The book contains photographs of snakes at various locations in Himachal Pradesh, which have been documented and identified by a team of researchers led by molecular biologist Anita Malhotra of Bangor University in the United Kingdom, of which Bharti was also a part. Bharti said the book has been published with funding from the National Health Mission (NHM) in Himachal Pradesh. Bharti told the Chief Minister that the team is also conducting a larger study through a tie-up with advanced laboratories in the country to find out whether the anti-snake venom available in the market can neutralize the venom of snakes in Himachal.
