The flood situation in Assam's Kaziranga National Park is still critical as 75 percent of forest camps of the national park are still under water. Many wild animals including one-horned rhinoceros, elephants, hog deer, and wild buffaloes have come out from the national park and moved towards the nearby Karbi Anglong hills by crossing National Highway 715 which passed through the park. According to the park authority, 8 wild animals including one rhino calf drowned in flood waters.
Arun Vignesh, DFO of Kaziranga National Park told ANI, “In the morning 178 camps were inundated by flood waters and it has now reduced to 173 camps. We are observing the situation and animals also. We have shifted the staff of nine camps to other camps due to flood. Animals had started moving towards Karbi hills area from the first day of flood. We have regulated the traffic movement also on the National Highway. We are really happy that people are also cooperating us for safety and security of wild animals. Inside the park there are some cases of drowning. One rhino calf drowned in flood waters. So far eight animals have died including the rhino calf. Till morning today, we rescued 45 animals and most of animals have released also because their conditions were good.”
