Officials take inspiration from literary giant Lakshminath Bezbaroa’s characters to motivate voters
Mandate 2021 has made the swamp deer steal the one-horned rhino’s thunder in eastern Assam’s Golaghat district.
The swamp deer is the most unobtrusive of the Kaziranga National Park’s big five animals, the others being the rhino, Bengal tiger, elephant and Asiatic water buffalo in that order of prominence. The headquarters of the park is in Golaghat district.
On March 11, the district administration launched ‘Tikhor’, the swamp deer as the male mascot for the systematic voters’ education and electoral participation (SVEEP) programme. ‘Sutibai’, the butterfly, has been made the female mascot.
