The piece of news shared by Kevin Pietersen revealed how 167 one-horned Rhinos were killed by poachers in Congress tenure. Hundreds of Rhinos were killed by poachers during the tenure of Congress. But the BJP governments have succeeded in protecting the one-horned Rhinoceros in the state. In a major success, only one rhino was poached in 2021 – which is the lowest in the last 21 years.
Assam Special DGP and The Anti-Poaching Task Force (APTF) of Kaziranga National Park chief GP Singh tweeted, “Year 2021 saw only one incident of rhino poaching in April 2021. The containment of poaching of One-horn rhino has been a major achievement of the Anti-Poaching Task Force constituted by @mygovassamin in June 2021.Compliments to @assampolice and @kaziranga_personnel. @CMOfficeAssam”.
