Public utilities

As an ecologically sensitive zone, utility provision in Kaziranga balances tourist demand with environmental regulations.

* **Electricity**: Provided by the Assam Power Distribution Company Limited (APDCL). Due to the risk to wildlife, overhead cables in animal corridors are heavily regulated or restricted. * **Water Supply**: Managed by the Assam Public Health Engineering Department (PHED). Many resorts and local households also rely on deep tube wells, though groundwater extraction is monitored. * **Gas**: Bottled Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) via agencies like Indane and Bharat Gas is the primary cooking fuel, significantly reducing reliance on firewood from the forests. * **Waste Management**: Managed locally by village panchayats and eco-development committees. There are strict zero-littering and anti-plastic campaigns in and around the core tourist zones (Kohora and Bagori).
