Massive erosion, floods posing threat to KNP
The flood and erosion by the Brahmaputra has posed a major threat to the northern part of the Kaziranga National Park (KNP). About 40 sq km of the 430 sq km area of the Park has been affected. According to satellite survey, about 37.40 sq km have been gobbled up by the mighty river. The Arimona forest beat office was set up in 1951 in Kohora range. The office conducts the patrolling of the forest personnel. A luxurious guest house was also constructed near the beat office.
