Cheetah Veera gave birth to two cubs at Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh's Sheopur district on Tuesday, informed Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
With these births, KNP is now home to 26 cheetahs, including 14 cubs.
He congratulated the officers, doctors, and field staff engaged in the cheetah project and said as a result of their tireless work, Madhya Pradesh is also known as the "land of cheetahs".
The chief minister said with the increase in the cheetah population in the state, tourism in the state is getting a boost and opening new doors of employment.
"We are always ready for conservation, promotion, and restoration of all wildlife along with cheetahs," he said.
On September 17, 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi released eight Namibian cheetahs – five females and three males – into enclosures at the KNP as part of the world's first intercontinental translocation of the big cats, seven decades after they became extinct in India due to hunting and habitat loss.
