But the poacher gangs have also become active to take advantage of the situation to kill wild animals for its body parts, particularly the one-horned rhino which is to be found only in this part of the world.

The horn of the rhinos is smuggled to various international markets where a single horn fetches lakhs of rupees. One such incident was reported in the park this morning. At around 11 AM, a rhino was found dead by park rangers at North of Meteka Beel under Garbi anti-poaching camp.
