Forest guards in Kaziranga National Park on Monday fired in the air suspecting the presence of poachers inside the habitat of the Great Indian Rhinoceros.
Park authorities said guards fired about seven rounds in the air in the Burapahar range of the Park hearing unusual noise and suspecting that poachers were there to attack rhinos for their horn. No one was injured and the animals were safe, the sources said.
A search operation was also launched for the poachers but none was found, the sources said.
Meanwhile, the carcass of a female rhino with its horn intact was recovered from near Hulalpath camp from Kohora range of Kaziranga National Park today. The mature rhino had died due to natural causes, divisional forest officer D. D. Gogoi said.
