After a substantial increase in the number of tigers in Bihar, the State government is now all set to constitute a 'Rhino Task Force' for suggesting measures for the reintroduction of the terrestrial mammals in the Valmiki Tiger Reserve (VTR) in West Champaran district, an official said.
At present there is only one rhino in VTR and 14 rhinos in Patna Zoo, Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Chief Wildlife Warden P K Gupta said.
"After the reintroduction of the Rhino Conservation scheme, the number of rhinos will substantially increase in the VTR", Gupta told PTI.
