Floodwaters drown large areas of Kaziranga National Park, 2 rhinos dead

The flood situation in Assam’s Kaziranga National Park worsened on Monday after floodwaters inundated more than 65 per cent areas of the world heritage site.  Many wild animals including one horned rhino, deer, elephants have taken shelter at highlands constructed inside the park.

The park authorities have restricted the speed limit of all vehicles on National Highway 37 and introduced time cards to vehicles to provide security to the wild animals.
