Kaziranga has become the first National Park in India to have been equipped with satellite phones, officials said on Wednesday. The decision to provide satellite phones for boosting anti-poaching measure was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on May 27. The State’s Chief Secretary, Jishnu Barua, handed over 10 such phones to the Kaziranga forest personnel. The satellite phones will be used in pockets of the park’s six ranges with no wireless or poor mobile connectivity.More Related News
