“During this time, we need strong hand of support and coordination from each and every departmental staff across all national parks and wildlife sanctuaries of Assam. Hence in my order, I am announcing that every leave appeal, on-going leave and request for appeal of leave made by/of every staff stands cancelled with immediate effect and are requested to join service immediately,” said Shuklabaidya on Saturday while referring to floods.

The forest minister also requested the citizens residing in the vicinity of all national parks and wildlife sanctuaries to treat the distressed animals with utmost care and love considering them as their own and inform the forest departmental staff immediately for subsequent support.
