The central government has denied any lapses behind the deaths of six cheetahs - including three cubs - within two months at the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh.
The Namibian Cheetahs that were released in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park were renamed following a call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the people to come up with suggestions.
The second batch of 12 cheetahs will embark on the journey to Madhya Pradesh s Kuno National Park from the O R Tambo International Airport in Gauteng on Friday evening.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had released the first batch of cheetahs from Namibia into a quarantine enclosure at KNP on his 72nd birthday on September 17.
