More Cheetahs to Arrive in Kuno, Tourist Safari to Be Allowed from Feb: CM Chouhan
News 18Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday said that more cheetahs would be arriving at the Kuno Palpur National Park in the state soon. Eight cheetahs from Namibia were released into the park in September last year as part of an ambitious project to revive the extinct cheetah population in the country. Speaking at the valedictory function of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention here, Chouhan said the Non-Resident Indians attending the event should visit tourist attractions of Madhya Pradesh including its tiger reserves. Prime Minister Narendra Modi facilitated the import of cheetahs from Namibia, Chouhan said, adding, “more cheetahs are coming from South Africa.” NRIs should set up a helpline for students from Madhya Pradesh and other parts of India who are studying abroad, the chief minister said.
