Guwahati (Assam) [India], June 27 (HBTV): The Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve authority in Assam is fully prepared to tackle any kind of situation during the flood season and ensure the safety and security of the animals in the national park.  

The park’s authorities are using various technological aids. For instance, they have set up vehicular speed-sensing cameras on National Highway-37 to control vehicles that pass through the national park.

Along with the male frontline staff around 150 women frontline staff are also engaged in Kaziranga National Park to protect wild animals. 

Sonali Ghosh, field director of Kaziranga National Park & Tiger Reserve told ANI that the park’s authorities have made all preparedness to ensure safety and security of wild animals in the park during flood season. 

‘In Kaziranga, the flood is a very important aspect because a good flood is also helpful for Kaziranga landscape. But at the same time, the migration of wild animals has also happened from Kaziranga to higher grounds in Karbi Anglong,’ the official said.                 

‘For this year also, we are prepared. There are nine designated corridors from where the animals are regularly crossing. We have put additional frontline staff there. We have used technologies including vehicular speed sensor cameras on the National Highway-37 so that we can minimize road accidents with wild animals.’     

Sonali Ghosh added that the frontline staff are continuously engaged in anti-poaching activities and doing their duties round the clock.   

‘We have provided them country boats, life jackets, raincoats and whatever is required,’ Ghosh added.
