Kaziranga Eases Fishing Ban for Bhogali Bihu Celebrations

Kaziranga administration temporarily lifted its fishing ban, allowing locals two hours to fish on Monday morning ahead of Bhogali Bihu. This move addressed community demands over restricted access to revenue beels. While locals welcomed the relaxation, tensions arose as 150-200 people gathered on Sunday, leading to minor scuffles and arrests. Authorities have since reinforced a strict fishing ban in Kaziranga National Park, citing concerns over commercial exploitation and potential security risks.
