Yet another rhinoceros has been found dead in Kariranga National Park in Assam. A forest guard was injured in an exchange of fire with poachers in a separate incident in the sanctuary. The carcass of a female rhino, with its horn removed, was found by forest guards near Difloo camp in Bagori range of the park, park officials said on Monday.
Heavy rains in the last three days triggered flash floods in parts of Bihar, where 41 people have died so far, and inundated large areas in Assam and North Bengal, paralysing normal life and snapping rail link to the Northeast from the rest of the country.
