Animals face threat as flood water enters Dudhwa Park

Lakhimpur: With the Dudhwa National Park here having been inundated with overflowing river waters, its wild animals face threat from the floods even as the Forest Department is maintaining extra vigil to ensure safety of animals from water as well as poachers.

In view of the floods which have hit most parts of the National Park, adequate arrangements have been ensured for the safety of the animals, said Field Director of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve Shailesh Prasad.

“The rising water levels of the Sharda, Mohana, Dauda and Soheli rivers have added to the woes of the animals, who have started taking shelter at high places though no animal casualties from floods have been reported so far,” he said. - PTI
