The Kaziranga National Park (KNP) has declared a high alert in the park area after the outbreak of African swine fever. According to source, a person staying near the park bought 50 pigs for his farm before the lockdown, but the animals died. This led a hue and cry later in the area though that was not related to swine fever. In addition to this, bamboo fencing have been set up to stop the domestic animals from coming in contact of the animals inside the park. The park director urged all concerned to make Kaziranga safe in any way.
