Authorities have diverted vehicles to the service road for the construction work of the Rs 40crore bus stand project, along with the erection of flyover pillars, causing traffic congestion for nearly 3km from the Hosur bus stand to Pathalapalli.
Farmer Venkatachalam, who found the crocodile lying in his agricultural well, informed the Harur forest department and the fire department. The teams rushed to the spot and rescued male crocodile using a net and ropes after a three-hour struggle.
