Officials discovered the body of a female rhino floating in the water, and they speculated that she may have drowned after making the discovery.

Forest officials have reported that three adult rhinoceroses have been found dead in the state so far this year, with two of those deaths occurring just this month alone.

Regarding the death of the Pobitora rhino, officials have stated that the water level in the areas surrounding the wildlife sanctuary has risen as a result of recent rains, which increases the possibility of individuals becoming submerged in water and passing out.

According to a statement made by an official, “some more wild animals have died as a result of the floods in recent times,” and “this female rhino might have died after failing to cross the flood water.”

The body has been removed for more examinations, and officials have stated that they are looking into the possibility of poaching as a contributing factor in the death.

The body of an elderly female rhino was discovered on August 6 at Kohora range, which is located close to Kaziranga National Park.

Officials have stated that a group of forest rangers who were conducting routine patrols along the banks of the Diphlu river close to the Salmara forest region discovered the body and recovered it from that location.

An official from Kaziranga National Park named Jatindra Sarma stated that “According to initial investigations, it looked like the rhino had died due to old age because its horn was also intact, which suggests that this was not a poaching case.” Jatindra Sarma was quoted as saying “It looked like the rhino had died due to old age because its horn was also intact.”

On the same day, August 20, the body of a male rhino estimated to be 18 years old was discovered in Assam’s Manas National Park. Forest officials determined that the rhino had died of natural causes.

THE CONGRESS ARE THE “NEW MUGHALS”

He also attacked the Congress and the Left, accusing them of propagating a so-called pro-Mughal narrative that distorts India’s history.

“Congress and Communists demonstrated that Babur, Aurangzeb, and Shah Jahan dominated India’s history. Sarma stated, “I wish to convey that India’s history was not about them, but rather about Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Guru Gobind Singh, and Swami Vivekananda.”

He compared the Congress to the Mughals and labeled the opposition party the “new Mughals” for its efforts to weaken the nation. He criticized the party for bringing up the Babri Mandir issue and opposing the building of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

He stated that in stark contrast to the Congress, the BJP believes in constructing temples rather than destroying them.

“Once upon a time, the ruler of Delhi would speak of demolishing temples, but today, under the leadership of PM Modi, I speak of constructing temples. This is the modern India. The Congress endeavors to diminish this new India. Today, Congress represents the new Mughals, said Sarma.
