Guwahati Diary | Green tribunal comes to rescue of feral horses
New Indian ExpressThe National Green Tribunal has come to the rescue of endangered feral horses in Assam’s Dibru-Saikhowa National Park. The Dibru-Saikhowa National Park, located in Assam’s eastern fringe, is one of the few places in the world which is home to feral horses. In a letter, the cabinet cell said, “All ministers, secretaries and officials are requested to keep their mobile phones outside the cabinet room before entering the meeting.” It added, “It is to ensure focused and undivided attention of members present in the meeting.” The directive was issued as CM Himanta Biswa Sarma was reportedly not happy when a minister seated next to him during a recent cabinet meeting took a call when during an important discussion. NFR chief public relations officer Kapinjal Kishore Sharma said the collaboration between NFR and IIT-Guwahati set a benchmark for blending academic research with practical implementation in railway sector.
