Kaziranga National Park Reopens for Daytime Traffic Amid Flood Recovery
The flood situation in Assam has had widespread repercussions, with 21 districts affected and over 2,406 villages inundated. Agricultural activities have been severely disrupted, with 32,924.32 hectares of crop area underwater. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) has been actively involved in rescue and relief operations, working to mitigate the impact on human and animal populations.
Water levels in key areas like Passighat, Dibrugarh, Dhansirimukh, and Tezpur have receded below danger levels, allowing some normalcy to return. However, areas like Neamatighat and Numaligarh still face high water levels, and the situation remains precarious. Continued efforts are essential to fully recover from the flooding and ensure the safety of both residents and wildlife in the region.
The reopening of Kaziranga National Park for daytime vehicle movement marks a positive step towards recovery from the devastating floods. Ongoing vigilance and coordinated efforts will be crucial in ensuring the safety and well-being of both the local communities and wildlife as the region continues to rebuild.
“The Assam Police has permitted the movement of commercial vehicles during the daytime in the Kaziranga National Park area after the flood situation improved.”
