Assam: Verification Of Rhino Horns In Various Treasuries

The Assam government has begun verification of rhino horns stored in different treasuries in order to reconcile and destroy those, barring the ones linked to court cases or required for scientific purposes. The destruction of the horns and different animal articles could be in conformity with an applicable phase of the Wildlife (Protection) Act of 1972. The horns worried in court instances showed to be faux and doubtful instances would also have to be kept in separate containers and sealed. “The whole operation could stay on massive video display units outdoor for public viewing and transparency,” State Chief Wildlife Warden M.K. Yadava stated.
