A 68-year-old man was killed by a gaur in Kulathupuzha early Thursday morning, sparking panic across the eastern forest fringes of Kollam. Basheer, a headload worker, met a gruesome death after being attacked by a gaur on the Kulathupuzha main road. The incident has ignited fresh outrage among locals who have long warned of the escalating wild gaur menace in their backyards. Wild animals, including gaurs, have been frequently intruding into residential areas across Kulathupuzha. They demand immediate to contain gaurs and other wild animals within the forest boundaries.
