1996 Jan. I visited the area. In Manipur, Dicerorhinus sumatrensis is occasionally reported from the Anko Range of Ukhrul District. Villagers of Konkan, about 88 km SE of Ukhrul town, encountered stray individuals as recently as early 1990s.
In 1970s, a rhino was shot by the Tangkhul Naga tribe of Khamsong village, NE of Ukhrul town.
In 1967 a Dicerorhinus sumatrensis was killed near Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh.
A rhinoceros was seen by local people in the Punikhal area of Sonai Reserved Forest of Cachar District, southern Assam. Probably also a Dicerorhinus sumatrensis, because until 1890 this species was once encountered infrequently in the Katakhal and Innerline Reserved Forests of Hailakandi and Cachar districts.
In Nagaland, there are two specific records, both from Tuensang district. In 1967-68, a rhino was reported from Saramati on the lower slopes of this 3836m peak. In 1994, the Yimchunger Nagas of the Fakim area south of Saramati reported seeing a 'dwarf' rhinoceros.
