Kaziranga National Park

• Task of Kaziranga
• If the disappearance of tigers from Sariska
  National Park was shocking, this news is
  absolutely chilling.
• Authorities at Kaziranga National Park have
  admitted to the deaths of nine big cats in the
  past 3 months.
• The biggest casualty ever in a national park over
  such a brief period.
• Wildlife experts fear the numbers are much
  higher and suspect forest officers at Kaziranga
  are deliberately quoting a lower figure to avert
  a full-blown investigation.
• Speaking to TOI, Kaziranga National Park director
  S N Buragohain claimed the reason behind the
  deaths ranged from poisoning by villagers to
  infighting among tigers and old age.
• Experts, however, rubbished the argument and
  said several deaths
  had occurred due to poaching at the park.
