"Protecting rhinos along with other wild lives are our commitment and raising the special force is a step towards protecting our rhinos from poaching," Sonowal said addressing the new appointees. Recruitment of the 90 constables through rigorous recruitment process will help in adding teeth to the rhino protection efforts, he said.
