Bedeti wetland of Assam in news (29/1/2025)

At a time when several wetlands are fast vanishing in the state, the Bedeti wetland is asserting its existence with a bounty of faunal and floral diversity. The wetland is located between National Highway-15 and the Bedeti Railway Station, some 25 kilometres east of Biswanath Chariali.

Presently, the wetland is in the middle of two famous protected areas - Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve to the south and Behali Wildlife Sanctuary to the north. The river Bedeti, which is a part of the wetland, flows nearby.
