The programme was attended by M. K. Yadava, IFS (Retd), Special Chief Secretary, Environment, Forest and Climate Change Department; Mridul Kumar Das, ACS, District Commissioner, Bajali; Anjan Sarma, President of Mahabahu Climate Change; Sami Choudhury, Senior Forest Officer; Ranjit Ram, Divisional Forest Officer; Bitupan Hazarika, IS, Barpeta–Bajali; Asfaque Laskar, ACS, Assistant Commissioner, Bajali; and the Director of Manas National Park.
