With over 150 anti-poaching camps in the Kaziranga National Park affected by the Assam floods, the authorities are working round-the-clock to check poaching at the UNESCO World Heritage site, officials said.
The staff and security personnel are performing their duties using mechanised and country boats to deal with any kind of eventualities, they said.
