On the lookout
Forest officials on duty on the NH-37 to enforce a 40 km/hr speed limit for vehicles that run through the Kaziranga National Park, on August 1, 2009. Animals in the park, such as rhinos and deer, have fallen prey both to poachers on the prowl while seeking high ground during floods, as well as careless drivers who zip through the park at high speed. Security has been beefed up inside the 430 sq km protected area which is home to the world's largest concentration of the one-horned rhinoceros.
