Panbari Wildlife Corridor Omitted from Assam Government Notification on Kaziranga Corridors
The Assam government’s April 2022 gazette notification listing nine wildlife corridors connecting Kaziranga National Park to Karbi Anglong hills omits the Panbari corridor in its detailed section, despite referencing all nine initially. Panbari runs through Methoni Tea Estate, recently acquired by a Reliance Industries subsidiary, raising questions about the omission. Conservationists express concern over potential links to rare earth element deposits nearby and the delay in officially notifying all corridors, highlighting the corridor’s ecological importance.
