Jaipur/Bhopal: Cheetahs are all set to arrive in Madhya Pradesh on September 17, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, official sources said on Friday.
The government had decided to land the cargo plane carrying the Cheetahs at Jaipur airport, but there was a last-minute change in the plan, and now, they will arrive at Gwalior from where they will be taken to the Kuno National Park in Sheopur district of the state, officials said.
There will be eight cheetahs comprising five females and three males. They will land at the Gwalior airport.
Modi will release these cheetahs in the Kuno National Park. The last cheetah was seen in the country nearly 70 years ago. Because of a large forest cover and conversation facilities, Madhya Pradesh has already been given the status of a tiger state, besides the state has the highest number of wolves in the country.
