The Assam government has set up a committee to ascertain the feasibility of the trimming horns of translocated and stray rhinoceros in the state.
The committee has invited opinion from environmentalists and activists on the pros and cons of trimming of horns as an experimental measure to help save translocated rhinos in Assam and for the rhino population that has strayed out of sanctuaries, including Kaziranga National Park, Pobitora Wild Life Sanctuary and Manas National Park.
