Assam's Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma reported that Operation Falcon has foiled nine rhino poaching attempts and led to 48 arrests, resulting in zero rhino poaching in the state. The operation is part of broader conservation efforts, including Project Rhino, aimed at protecting the endangered greater one-horned rhinoceros.
Kaziranga National Park in Assam is a key habitat for the species and central to the state's wildlife conservation initiatives. The Chief Minister described Operation Falcon as a significant step in ensuring a safer future for rhinos and preventing poachers from succeeding.
