According to forest department sources, Tendulkar also took time to engage with women frontline staff stationed in Bagori, acknowledging their role in conservation efforts.
As a token of appreciation, the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of the Eastern Assam Wildlife Division (Kaziranga), Aun Vignesh, presented him with a coffee table book on the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
