Kaziranga National Park reopens for tourists

Jaggi Vasueva asked every citizen to protect what is precious in their state and not just leave it to the Chief Minister

The dignitaries undertook a jeep safari with Vasudeva in the driver's seat and Sarma sitting beside him.

"Your chief minister is safe with me in the vehicle. It is a matter of great joy to open the park for tourists," Vasudeva said on the occasion

Assam CM informing about the developments on Twitter shared a video of the reopening of Kaziranga national park along with Jaggi Vasudeva. He wrote,"His blessings are special. His teachings, extraordinary. Revered @SadhguruJV, in whose presence Kaziranga National Park opened today for tourists, has a special message to save precious Rhinos. And indeed he enjoyed the Jeep Safari. Tourism Min Shri @jayanta_malla accompanied."

In the video, Vasudeva is seen sitting in the driver's seat with sarma sitting beside him and the duo visiting various parts of the park accompanied by armed guards taking pictures of the wild animals.

Vasudeva can heard saying, " It's a great joy that after a year or two years of closure we opened the Kaziranga National Park, it's really fantastic"

"The two images of Rhinocerous there made of rhino horn ash, very very important. I think the entire country and the whole world should come to know about this that this myth should be burned for good that we have fancy ideas about animals which must go, animals have a life to live of their own"

"It's not just the Chief Minister every citizen in the state should stand up for what is precious in the state, CM alone cannot protect off course he makes policies, he sets up things but it is important that every citizen especially media should popularize this" Vasudeva further said.

He was talking about the state burning a stockpile of 2,479 rhino horns, seized on September 22, 2021, to flames in a bid to send a strong message to poachers. Three statues of rhinoceros made from the same ashes were inaugurated at the Mihimukh area of the park

Talking about the statues Sarma said, "The rhino statues thus created is an attempt to immortalise the efforts and dedication of those who selflessly protect Assam's pride, the great one horned-rhinoceros,"
