MUMBAI: This weekend, CNN-IBN's flagship documentary show 30 Minutes turns its camera to the Kaziranga National Park, to highlight the plight of rhinos.

In this episode, CNN-IBN's Arijit Sen travels to Kaziranga to find out why even a force of 1,200 forest guards is unable to tackle the poachers. Sen interviews park director, forest guards, and even reformed poachers who explain how poaching is conducted.
