Guwahati, August 7: In a move to empower the forest protection force personnel, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Wednesday handed over 20 inflatable rubber boats to authorities of the Kaziranga National Park at a function held at Bagori range of the national park.

It may be noted that during the chief minister’s review meeting on the safety of Kaziranga National Park in June, the personnel of forest protection force had made a request for new patrol boats to have surveillance on any purported attempt of poaching and encroachment and take steps for checking the menace.

In view of the request, the boats have been delivered in less than 60 days.

Sarma also visited the Hatimura embankment breach point at Kaliabor and took stock of the repair and restoration work.

He expressed satisfaction at the pace at which repair work at the breach point has been accomplished and said that the embankment breach at Hatimura has been closed in 26 days.

“The team engaged in the repair work, worked day and night to overcome operational challenges and complexities posed by strong water current. As on day, all embankment breaches in Assam are closed,” the chief minister informed.
