In a commendable wildlife rescue effort, the Assam Forest Department successfully recovered and relocated a sizable python from the vicinity of a residence in Dologaon, within the Govardhana area of Baksa district.
The python, measuring an impressive fifteen feet in length and weighing around twenty kilograms, had wandered into the residential area, causing alarm among local residents. Promptly responding to the situation, the forest department officials showcased their expertise in wildlife management.
Using specialized equipment and following established protocols, the team safely captured the python. The careful handling ensured the safety of both the reptile and the local community. The rescued python was then transported to Manas National Park, where it was released back into its natural habitat. This relocation not only ensures the python’s well-being but also reduces the risk of future human-wildlife conflicts in the area.
This successful operation underscores the ongoing efforts of the Assam Forest Department to protect wildlife while ensuring the safety of human communities. Their swift and professional response highlights the department’s commitment to wildlife conservation and community safety.
