| September 9, 2009 | Assam's Orang National Park to have anti-poaching camps | | Guwahati (Assam): The Assam Government on Wednesday said that
it would set up five anti-poaching camps in the Orang National Park in order to
prevent the poaching of the endangered one-horned rhinos. The decision came in
the wake of a stark increase in the number of poaching incidents that were reported
from the park. Earlier, Assam Forest Minister Rockybul Hussain had ordered a high-level
probe. Several administrative officials, including Chief Conservator of Forest
B S Bonal, had visited the park in order to prepare a report. According to reports,
along with the five anti-poaching camps, there will be two floating camps in the
river. Meanwhile, twenty armed home guards and one assistant conservator of forest
would be deployed to supervise the measures.
