Gwalior: The roar of the cheetah will be heard in India after 70 years. Namibian cheetahs are being settled in India. For this, PM Narendra Modi himself is going to take them to Kuno National Park on the occasion of his birthday, which will become the new home of these cheetahs. They have been brought from Namibia in a special chartered cargo flight. The flight landed at the Air Force Station in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh on Saturday morning. Prime Minister Modi will again leave these cheetahs in the national park from here.

These cheetahs are coming a long way. They were first taken by road from a game park in The Namibian capital Windhoek and then scheduled an 11-hour air journey on a chartered Boeing 747. Prime Minister Modi tweeted about this program and said, "Efforts to conserve wildlife in the country will get a new strength tomorrow. Will get an opportunity to leave cheetahs being brought from Namibia at Kuno National Park in Madhya Pradesh at around 10:45 am."

India is bringing these African cheetahs home as an experiment. In 2020, the Supreme Court ruled that African cheetahs can be brought to India and used to settle them by giving them the necessary environment. Since then, the central government has been working on it. India was once home to Asian cheetahs, but by 1952 they were declared extinct here. On the verge of extinction, this cheetah was once very much in the Middle East, Central Asian countries and India. Now their nominal number is just in Iran.
