Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary to see the light of day

From our Correspondent

MANGALDAI, Feb 14: Nol gahori or pigmy hog (sus salvanius or porcula salvania)- is the smallest and the rarest wild suid in the world and endangered species of khagarikata shaha or hispid hare (caprolagus hispiudus)- is one of the rarest animals of the world. The pigmy hog is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the world, which can only be found in two protected areas of Assam- Manas National Park (MNP) and Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS). Similarly, the BWS is also known as one of the few habitats of the hispid hare all over the world. And significantly both the two protected areas are under the territorial jurisdiction of the BTAD. But is any one in our country, State or the territorial council of Bodoland really cares or worried for Barnadi Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS)? Have the Forest and Wildlife Department taken any initiative for its conservation or protection not to speak of its proper maintenance?
