BUXAR-------------------------Four cattle met a tragic end after coming into contact with a fallen 11,000-volt high-tension wire in the fields situated between Rampur Sikaria and Basantpur in the Chaugain block. The incident occurred at 11:00 AM on Friday. The deceased cattle include a pregnant buffalo.

The incident caused a stir in the area, and significant outrage is being witnessed among local cattle owners. It is reported that an exposed high-tension power line had been left dangling in the fields following a severe storm that struck two days earlier.

Meanwhile, cattle owners from Nawadih village had taken dozens of their livestock to the fields for grazing. While grazing, four of the animals came into contact with the broken wire and died on the spot.

The deceased livestock include one buffalo and one cow belonging to Santosh Yadav, and two buffaloes belonging to Pramod Kumar. Dozens of other cattle were present at the scene at the time of the incident; however, a major tragedy was averted as the remaining animals were moved to safety in time. The affected livestock owners stated that their livelihood depends entirely on their cattle, and this incident has caused them losses amounting to lakhs of rupees. They have demanded immediate compensation from the administration, as well as action against the negligent officials.
