Three new commando battalions deployed in Kaziranga National Park

The Chief Minister took stock of the loss of land of the Kaziranga National Park primarily due to swift flow of river water. He said that as a result of this, a sizeable chunk of the forest land of the park has been lost. In view of this, he announced that a joint task force will be formed taking experts from Forest Department, Water Resources Department and the Kaziranga National Park to study the phenomena and recommend remedial steps. The team will submit its report within 45 days to the government.
