Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Friday said some cheetahs will be shifted from Kuno National Park in the state’s Sheopur district to Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary on April 20.

At present, 17 cheetahs are roaming in the wild at KNP, while nine are in enclosures.

In a statement on X, Yadav said the cheetah project will be expanded to Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary on April 20, adding that it will prove to be an important step towards wildlife conservation.

“A consignment of some cheetahs will be released there (Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary) on April 20,” Yadav said. Sources said the plan is to shift two cheetahs to Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary that day.
