Telangana constables save buffaloes from raging fire in Iskilla village, avert mishap

In an act of bravery, two constables in a Telangana village saved the lives of buffaloes in the nick of time as a raging fire was spreading wildly in the area. The constables, Yadagiri and Ravinder Reddy saved the animals that were tied to trees in a field in Iskilla village near Ramannapet. The cattle owners were not present.

The policemen were going to Ramannapettam from Kakkireni as part of the task force when they witnessed the helpless animals tied as the fire started to spread. The animals were already panicking and at first, it was difficult for the constables to untie them as the buffaloes were charging them. However, gathering all courage they manage tp untie the animals and averted a mishap.
