Bhopal (MP), Sept 16 (ANI): Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on September 16 said that Madhya Pradesh will become Cheetah state. “We were a tiger state, leopard state and now becoming cheetah state. We prepared Kuno National Park 20 years back and removed villages in order to make wildlife grow and villagers be safe. Dreams coming true now. This would be the biggest event for wildlife in this decade,” said CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan. “Will try our best that Cheetahs keep growing, producing. Re-introduction will help balance environment. Even though Cheetahs have not reached yet, value of land nearby has grown a lot. Tourism will grow. Cars, hotels, landowners and locals will benefit from it,” he added. “We're primarily worried about their survival, we will wait for them to adjust before leaving them in the wild. Our first priority is their safety, after which we will think about increasing tourism here,” he added.
