In order to strengthen wildlife protection measures, investigating officers of Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve in Assam were imparted advanced training on inquiry and examination of different cases, a senior official said on Tuesday. According to Manas National Park and Tiger Reserve Field Director C Ramesh, 27 investigating officers from six forest divisions of the park participated in an intensive five-day refresher training in Bansbari range recently.
The training aimed to strengthen their expertise in investigation, evidence collection and framing wildlife offences by incorporating the latest amendments of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and recently amended criminal laws and procedures, he added.
