India will see 'Cheetah Safari' after 70 years of waiting

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday released cheetahs brought from Namibia in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park. Eight cheetahs -- five female and three male -- were brought to Rajasthan's Jaipur in an aircraft as part of an inter-continental translocation project. The big cats were then taken to Kuno National Park in MP's Sheopur district in helicopters. 

On the occasion of his 72nd birthday, PM Modi arrived at the Gwalior airport from New Delhi and then left for Kuno National Park (KNP) in the Sheopur district. He then released the cheetahs into quarantine enclosures.
