One of the four cheetah cubs born to Namibian feline Siyaya akka Jwala has died at Kuno National Park

The cause of six-year-old African cheetah Uday's death was heart failure, Madhya Pradesh Forest Department sources said

The second cheetah died at Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park on Sunday, officials said

The 12 cheetahs arrived on Saturday and were released into quarantine enclosures at the Kuno National Park (KNP) in Sheopur district, five months after the first batch of eight of these fastest land animals were brought there from Namibia, another African nation.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister for Environment and Forests Bhupender Yadav released these felines into the quarantine bomas after they were transported to the KNP from Gwalior around noon.

The BJP-led government at the Centre to take credit for the release of African Cheetahs in Kuno National Park, fact remains that it conveniently chose not to acknowledge that Cheetah translocation project started way back in 2009-10.

The Congress on Sunday said that the process of induction was started by the UPA government and former Union Minister for environment Jairam Ramesh released a letter to prove his point.

He also clicked some pictures of the cheetahs on a professional camera after releasing them.

Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park is all set to welcome the eight new cheetahs relocated from Namibia after seven decades.
