On Saturday, PM Modi left the cheetahs brought from Namibia in the enclosure of the Kuno National Park. For an hour, the cheetahs were seen in fear. About 3 hours after being released into the enclosure, the cheetahs drank water, after which they appeared agile and ate buffalo meat. According to a forest department official, the cheetahs were scared for about an hour after being released into the enclosure. This must have happened because of fatigue, because during the 9,000 km journey from Namibia to Koon, he was in a cage for about 10 hours. Cheetahs were kept empty stomach while being brought to India from Namibia. The cheetahs drank water in the cistern built in the enclosure around 2 o’clock in the afternoon. At the same time, 2 cheetahs after drinking water also ran for some time. After this the team checked the cheetahs. Cheetahs were given buffalo meat at around 4 pm. Cheetahs ate only 8 to 9 kg of meat.
Earlier, India’s 70-year wait ended on Saturday when 8 cheetahs from Namibia took their first steps on the country’s soil. Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened the box in Kuno National Park and left 2 cheetahs in the quarantine enclosure. In a recorded speech, PM Modi thanked Namibia for sending cheetahs.
PM Modi told cheetah friends – If the cheetah runs again in Kuno, then the biodiversity will increase here. Opportunities for development will arise here. Employment opportunities will increase. The PM appealed to the people to be patient now, do not come to see the cheetahs. These cheetahs have come as guests. Unaware of this area. For this to be able to make Kuno their home, they have to cooperate.
A 10-feet high platform was built for the Prime Minister in Kuno. There were cheetahs in the cage under this platform. The PM opened the box through the lever. As soon as the cheetah came out, it was seen scared in an unknown place. With agreeable steps, he turned his eyes here and there and started walking. The fatigue of the long journey was clearly visible on the cheetahs. As soon as the cheetahs came out, PM Modi welcomed them by clapping. Modi also clicked some photos. Modi reached the stage after walking 500 meters. He was accompanied by Governor Mangubhai Patel and Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Today is also the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
After leaving the cheetahs in Kuno, PM Modi also took their pictures. The PM had a camera. As soon as the leopard came out of the enclosure, the PM picked up the camera and started clicking photos.
Highlights of PM Modi’s speech…
- We also saw the time when the exploitation of nature was considered a symbol of power. In 1947, when only 3 cheetahs were left in the country, they were also hunted.
- It was unfortunate that in 1952 we declared cheetahs extinct, but did not make any meaningful efforts for decades to rehabilitate them. Today, in the elixir of independence, the country has started rehabilitating cheetahs with new energy.
- This is a task, which no one attaches importance to from political point of view, behind this we have spent years of energy. Created a Cheetah Action Plan. Our scientists worked with experts from Namibia. After a scientific survey across the country, the National Kuno Park was selected for an auspicious start.
- Nature and environment, animals and birds are not matters of sustainability and security for India. For us, it is also the basis of sensitivity and spirituality.
The Prime Minister also shared some photos of Kuno National Park on his social media account.
After releasing the cheetahs in Kuno, Modi spoke to his cheetah friends. The Forest Department has made selected local people cheetah friends. These people will tell the difference between a leopard and a cheetah to the local villagers. They will also make them aware about their safety.
CM Shivraj said – there is no bigger gift than this
Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached Gwalior from Delhi in a special plane before leaving for Kuno. Here Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Home Minister Narottam Mishra and Governor Mangubhai Patel received him. The Chief Minister said, there is no bigger gift for MP than this. Cheetahs had become extinct in the country and their resettlement is a historic step. This is the biggest wildlife event of this century. This will give a rapid boost to tourism in Madhya Pradesh.

There will be 500 cheetahs in the country, then we will agree to re-arrangement

To meet this target, 8 to 12 cheetahs will be sent to India every year from South Africa and Namibia. Apart from this, the genealogy of cheetahs in India will also be involved in this.

The naming will be done only after the study of the nature of cheetahs
Cheetahs will be named after studying their temperament. Every wild animal has its own nature. Some like humans, some are aggressive.

This may take up to three to five months.
Court hearing on the land of Kuno Palpur on 19th
Controversy has started regarding the land of Kuno National Park. The descendants of the Palpur royal family, who gave the land, have filed a contempt petition in the court. It has been said in the petition that the High Court had asked the district administration to give its reply in response to our petition and claims. Despite the direct order of the High Court, the Collector issued an order to acquire the land by presenting the report without referring to our petition.
A descendant of the Palpur royal family recently released a video saying, ‘Either we should be given our land back or lions should be brought to the sanctuary. He gave his fort and land to the lions and not to the cheetahs. When Kuno was declared a sanctuary to bring the Gir lions, he had to vacate his fort and 260 bighas of land. Let us tell you, the descendants of the Palpur royal family had approached the court against the state government to get back their ancestral property. The next hearing in this case will be held on September 19 in Vijaypur ADJ Court.
