GUWAHATI: Assam government on Wednesday rolled out an exclusive rhino protection force to protect the animal, which is frequently being killed by poachers for their horns. Between 2015 and 2017, poachers have killed 74 rhinos in the three natural habitats at Kaziranga, Orang and Manas. In the current year, already four have been killed.
The force would be exclusively used for Kaziranga National Park, Orang National Park and Manas National Park.
The newly recruited constables will maintain constant liaison with the higher ups of the security mechanism of Kaziranga National Park to form a formidable team for the protection of wild lives.
The government has devised a well laid out mechanism for their training, using latest technology to the appointees for their capacity building.
