Migratory birds have started arriving at the Kaziranga National Park, said a park research officer.

“Last year, migratory birds started arriving at the national park in November, but this year, it has already started. Several species of bird have arrived in the national park this year. We have seen these migratory birds at Burapahar, Bagori, and Agoratoli area in the national park,” research officer Rabindra Sharma said.

Kaziranga Park is one of the largest homes of migratory birds. Here birds come from Russia, the Netherlands, and Europe.

During the past two years, a large number of exceptional birds such as spawn-billed ducks and painted storks have been seen in the Kaziranga.

The Kaziranga National Park, which is also UNESCO World Heritage Site is the home of two-thirds of the world’s Great One-horned Rhinoceros. (ANI)

Kaziranga National Park, Tiger Reserve Reopens For Tourists

By LokMarg

The Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Assam Wildlife Division, were reopened on Sunday for the 2022–23 season of tourists.

In a general notice issued by Ramesh Kumar Gogoi, Divisional Forest Officer of the Eastern Assam Wildlife Division in Bokakhat, he stated that currently, the park is partially open only for Jeep Safari in two ranges—Kashiranga Range, Kohora, and Western Range in Bagori—due to the conditions of the roads.

“At present, tourists are allowed to travel up to Bimoli Tiniali via Donga tower under the Western Range, Bagori and from Mihimukh via Daflang tower to Vaichamari Junction under the Kaziranga Range, Kohora till further notification/orders,” the DFO said in the notice.

On September 22, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma along with Sadhguru Vasudev opened the Kaziranga National Park for tourists for this season.

Chief Minister Sarma, on the day, also unveiled three rhino statues at Mihimukh in Kaziranga along with Vasudev.

These rhino statues have been created using the ashes collected from burning rhino horns. It may be noted that on September 22, last year, the Assam government made history when a stockpile of 2,479 rhino horns was consigned to flames to send across a strong message to the poachers and illegal horn traders that rhino horns have no medicinal value.

The rhino statues thus created are an attempt to immortalize the efforts and dedication of those who selflessly protect Assam’s pride, the great one-horned rhinoceros. (ANI)
