Along with the rest of the world, the World Rhino Day was also observed in different parts of Assam on Saturday.

The Day was also observed at Assam State Zoo-cum-Botanical Garden in Guwahati with a day-long programme.

The programme at the Assam State Zoo was inaugurated by writer Putu Devi in presence of Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF), Assam, NK Vaasu in presence of other senior officials.

Sonowal tweeted: “On World Rhino Day, let us celebrate one of Assam’s most precious resource and pledge to do our best to protect and conserve these gentle giants.”
