Assam govt and Centre are formulating a comprehensive plan to stop such Rhino poaching incidents and save the species.

GUWAHATI: Under fire for the recent killing of rhinos in Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today said the state and Centre are formulating a comprehensive plan to stop such incidents and save the species.

"We are looking at measures to stop poaching and also reduce deaths of rhinos due to flood. A policy is being worked upon," Gogoi told reporters here.

He said besides involving locals living in the vicinity of Kaziranga National Park, Manas National Park and Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, the government is also working on steps like floodlighting and fencing sensitive areas.

"Recently union Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan was here and she assured all help from Centre, including boats and aircraft. The guards in the reserve areas are also being provided with sophisticated weapons," he said.

On the issue of flood, Gogoi said over 40 lakh people were affected and 151 lost their lives during the three waves which hit the state this year. Over ten lakh people took shelter in camps after being displaced by floods.

"However, as of today the situation has improved and only 1,920 person are still living in camps, five of which are still operating," he said.

The Chief Minister said steps like help for farmers to have a good rabi crop are being taken to make up the loss in agriculture.

Regarding the recent violence in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts and nearby places, Gogoi said of the total 4.85 lakh displaced, over 3.43 lakh have left for their homes.
