CHENNAI: Two buffaloes were electrocuted after coming into contact with live electric wires near Tambaram on Tuesday morning.

Sarala (47), a resident of Rajaji Nagar in Selaiyur, was doing a milk business. She owns several cattle, and on Monday evening, after milking, she sent the animals out to graze. The buffaloes usually return home by 9 pm, but on Monday night, two failed to return even by midnight. Following that, Sarala, along with her relatives, searched for them through the night.
