Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today directed Additional Chief Secretary T Y Das to probe into the killing of two rhinos in Kaziranga National Park recently and to submit a report to him immediately.
According to an official release, Gogoi expressed serious concern over the rhino killings in the past few days and asked the additional chief secretary to go into details of the circumstances leading to the killing of two rhinos.
