[Assam] The great NEI VVIP Poachers in Kaziranga.

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Friends,
  One of the old system going on through the National highway Kaziranga since long and none hope feel it as important and so how we do loose lot many precious wild animals/birds from there. This technique I am studying since long and once have experienced too.
  The Nagaland Govt officials/Ministers/MLAs supposed to remain in their state boundaries only.Assam is not their territory. If one follow their huge convoy with  long barrel weapon (Long barrel weapon are best to kill anyone at the single shot)holding security man/escorts frequently visiting GHY or other places of Assam, can find the motive of their travel to another state. One can find beeline of Nagaland VVIP/VIP etc traveling frequently via this road.But this is only to make their easy hunt.They prefer to travel Kaziranga area at night.On the way they will shoot the standing any animal that they like.They will have one follow up vehicle behind.Their easy target are Deers/Wild boar/Xahapahoo.....
  Amazing to believe,But its true and routine.Since they got red light or heavily armed escorts, none dare to stop.Even they do show the weapon to human also mercilessly.They might stop on the way and poach Rhino also- who knows.
  While I was posted at Air Force Dinjan, once I was travelling on duty to guwahati for some official work with fully equipped vehicles.I know well about them.One Nagaland Minister was following much behind us and wanted to overtake, but since there was lot many trucks and buses, we prefered not to give side.They showed their weapon to us knowing what we was!!(Might be some part of brain was missing- honestly speaking). Later we allowed them.But I saw them making stop at kaziranga area of the highway for stop- where no shop/eating hotel is available. I too stopped.As military we got full right over Indian boundaries without any state restrictions.Then my doubt was clear and found foul smell. I told them to proceed as its anotehr state and being a national park.Loitering with weapon is offence.They of course scolded me well and finally left for GHY! On the way I did informed in one police outpost(Kahora).The police said they do all regularly as police got hardly some power
 on them. Un believable that other state ministers to show their colour in Assam-that too Kaziranga!!!! This is our system now!!
  Might be now also same things going on.When they go back, they do cary big meat for one weeks stock?Who knows.
  My intensions now is why not to start up with morale patrolling poicing in that area? What now AASU is doing Morla policing in GHY should be extended to Kaziranga region to.The entire highway- specially during nights.The OIL,Tata tea etc can very well find for it. Latest news are more sorowfull.More Rhinos are being killed now alongwith tigers.There are gradual encroachment of the national park land by the immigrants and Biharis.Courtesy-AGP law.
  Can anyone suggest something better please?
