The Massacre continues: One More Rhino Killed by Poachers in Kaziranga

Another Rhinoceros has been murdered in Kaziranga National Park and its horn removed. The body with number of bullets was found in the Burapahar range of Kaziranga National park. The empty shells have been recovered.

Earlier the Chief Minister had announced a CBI enquiry and there have been attempts to strengthen the enforcement, however the massacre continues. There is a intelligence failure as the forest department is unable to know poachers are getting ready to enter the park. After the poaching incident, the whereabouts of the poachers are not known. To make up for its inefficiency, there are many raids conducted on the neighbouring villages, however, the villagers say that this is only meant for show. Forest department officials say that on the contrary, they have been conducting massive combing and search operations to recover the horn and nab the poachers.

The truth is somewhere in between. Kaziranga has turned into killing fields. When will the Government ensure that the Rhinos are safe?
