According to local officials, the buffalo began showing symptoms consistent with rabies before dying, prompting authorities to investigate the situation. By the time the risk was identified, milk from the animal had already been distributed and consumed by multiple households in the community, creating widespread anxiety among residents.

Medical teams quickly intervened to assess potential exposure and began administering preventive treatment to villagers who had consumed the milk or had contact with the animal. Health authorities emphasized precautionary measures, as rabies is a highly dangerous viral disease that can be transmitted through infected animals.

Veterinary and public health departments are working together to monitor the situation and determine whether the buffalo was indeed infected with rabies. Officials are also advising farmers and rural residents to report unusual animal behavior quickly and to avoid consuming milk from animals showing signs of illness.
