On Birthday, PM Releases Cheetahs Flown In From Africa
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today released three of the eight cheetahs that arrived in India Saturday, seven decades after their local extinction, in an ambitious project to reintroduce the big cats starting from Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park.

New Delhi 17 September 2022

As per news report of NDTV Thanking the government of Namibia for help in the programme to reintroduce cheetahs in India, PM Modi said it was unfortunate that "we declared cheetah extinct in 1952, but for decades no constructive efforts were made to reintroduce them." Kicking off his 72nd birthday, the PM earlier today released three cheetahs into the Kuno National Park. Sporting a fedora hat, the PM was also seen photographing the felines with a professional camera. He released two cheetahs from enclosure number one and after that, about 70 meters away, from the second enclosure released another one. Radio collars have been strapped on all the cheetahs to be monitored through satellite. There is a dedicated monitoring team behind each cheetah which will monitor their movements around the clock.
