Authorities of the Kaziranga National Park in Assams Golaghat district have started preparations to tackle the flood season as the Brahmaputra river was flowing above the danger level due to torrential rains.

The Park, which is the home to world's largest one-horned rhino population, shuts for tourists in May so that the officials can prepare for the flood season that starts from June onwards.

A Unesco world heritage site, the Park again reopens in November.

"We are ready for the flood season. We have completed repairing all the 200 highlands inside the park where the animals can take shelter. Meetings were held with NGOs working in and around the park as well as with the local villagers so that the animals can be saved and helped during a high flood like situation," Park Director P. Shiv Kumar told IANS on Monday.

On Monday, the Central Water Commission (CWC) informed that the Brahmaputra river is flowing above the danger level at Nimatighat, Dhansiri, while the Jia Bharali river was overflowing at some places in Sonitpur district.

Kaziranga is bound by the Brahmaputra on its northern end.

"We are expecting the flood waters to enter the park by tomorrow (Tuesday). There have been rains in the upper catchment areas in Arunachal Pradesh but the waters take at least 48 hours to reach here. We are ready and have taken all necessary precautions to deal with the situation," the Director added.
