The latest death is the second death this week, taking the total number of cheetahs present in the MP park to 16, including a cub. The question is also that in view of the death of cheetahs, can they be shifted somewhere else?
Efforts are being made to make India cheetah-rich once again. For this, cheetahs were brought from Africa. However, eight cheetahs have died so far. Cheetah’s death drew sharp criticism from opposition parties. He blamed the “mismanagement” of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The latest death is the second death this week, taking the total number of cheetahs present in the MP park to 16, including a cub. The question is also that in view of the death of cheetahs, can they be shifted somewhere else?
Will be shifted somewhere else?
A day after the eighth cheetah died in Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park, Union Minister for Forest and Climate Change Bhupendra Yadav said the government was in touch with experts on the issue, but “the cheetahs will not be relocated.” He said that we are also in touch with international experts. Our team will visit and review the situation. We are looking into all possible aspects… This is the first year for them to settle in the abode. I hope the project will be successful. When asked if some of the cheetahs would be relocated, he replied, “…they will remain in Kuno…they will be taken care of in MP.”
What did the state government say
When asked about the death of eight cheetahs in the last nearly four months, State Forest Minister Vijay Shah said that three of the cubs who died were malnourished since birth, while the other deaths occurred in fights during mating or eating, which is common in animals. Usually happens. Rejecting any allegation of mismanagement, Shah said, “The Government of India, the Government of South Africa, the Government of Namibia, the entire team of the Government of India, the entire Hawk Force are involved in the management of cheetahs and everything is being done as per their instructions.” “Therefore, it is not fair to say that these (deaths) happened due to negligence,” he said. The PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) is keeping a close watch on everything. Everything is being done on the instructions of the PMO. There has been no negligence on our part.
