PM Modi releases cheetahs in Kuno National Park

Sheopur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi released eight cheetahs brought from Namibia in a special enclosure at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh. On this occasion, Modi also took some pictures of cheetahs from the camera. It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Modi is celebrating his 72nd birthday today.
Eight cheetahs from Namibia arrived at Kuno National Park on Saturday morning as part of a country-wide resettlement project seven decades after they were declared extinct in India. First they were brought to Gwalior airport by special aircraft and then to KNP located in Sheopur district by helicopters.
Prime Minister Modi left the cheetahs in a special enclosure of the KNP. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was also present on the stage on this occasion. These cheetahs were brought on a special flight by ‘Terra Avia’, an airline based in Chisinau, Moldova in Europe that operates chartered passenger and cargo flights.
Kuno National Park is situated on the northern edge of Vindhyachal hills and is spread over an area of ​​344 square kilometer.
The cheetah was declared extinct in India in 1952. The ‘African Cheetah Introduction Project in India’ started in 2009 to reintroduce cheetahs to India and has gained momentum in recent years. India has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Namibia for the import of cheetahs. (Language)
