Twenty-eight heads of cattle stranded on a sand shoal in Kollidam river off Sirkazhi were rescued and brought to safety on Thursday in a joint operation by the Police and Fire and Rescue Service and Revenue Departments after water level rose suddenly due to heavy flow of water.
In all, 20 cows and eight calves were brought to safety in two boats. Thirteen trips were made for the rescue operation using two boats of inland fishermen, official sources said.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
