Manas (Barpeta Road), Feb. 23: Six elephants were today shifted out of Kaziranga to Daimary forest range under Manas National Park.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare, the organisation behind the endeavour, is being helped by its partner, Wildlife Trust of India, the Assam forest department and the BTC in the first-ever translocation of elephants.
The formal release of the pachyderms will be done by BTC deputy chief Kampha Borgayari tomorrow.
Earlier, the organisation had successfully shifted three female rhino calves, Mainao, Manashi and Roje, to Manas after rescuing them from floods and kept them at a rescue centre near Kaziranga.
“We are going to put another feather in the cap of Manas,” Borgayari said today.
