BOKAKHAT: With floodwaters gradually rising, the authorities of Kaziranga National Park have launched dedicated helpline numbers to provide medical and rescue assistance to wildlife affected by the floods. The initiative, undertaken by the park authorities, veterinarians, and forest department teams, aims to facilitate prompt reporting of injured or stranded animals.

The dedicated helpline number is 03776-269563.

People are urged to inform the authorities immediately through this number if they spot any wild animal injured or in danger due to the floods. Rescue operations have already begun in the eastern range of Kaziranga. The forest department, in coordination with the Centre for Wildlife Rehabilitation and Conservation (CWRC), is actively involved in rescue and treatment efforts.

In previous flood seasons, around 100 animals were rescued and released after treatment. This year, preparations are once again underway to minimize wildlife casualties and damage. Veterinarians and forest department staff are on high alert.
