Search Operation For The Animal Begins
Showroom staff reportedly fled the premises to avoid the animal. According to NDTV, the buffalo is believed to have strayed from the Kannavam forest. Following the incident, the Kerala Forest Department launched a search operation to track the animal and prevent further damage to public property or risk to civilians. Authorities are considering administering a medical sedative to calm the buffalo before safely relocating it.
