Chief Minister Dr. Yadav released female cheetah Radha in Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav released female cheetah Radha on Sunday in the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary in Neemuch-Mandsaur district. Dr. Yadav named the female cheetah Radha on the occasion of Radha Ashtami. Congratulating everyone, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the Cheetah Project, launched under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is setting new benchmarks of success. At the same time, efforts are being made in Madhya Pradesh to restore wildlife species that had become extinct in the state. The cheetahs released last year are completely healthy.

The release of another cheetah in Gandhi Sagar Sanctuary is an important step towards expanding Project Cheetah in Madhya Pradesh. After female cheetah Radha arrived at Gandhi Sagar, the number of cheetahs here has increased to four. Two male cheetahs, Prabhas and Pavak, and one female cheetah, Dheera, were already present in the sanctuary. Now Gandhi Sagar has two male and two female cheetahs.

Garoth MLAi Chander Singh Sisodia, Manasa MLA Aniruddh Madhav Maru and Chief Conservator of Forests, Wildlife, Dr. Samita Rajoura, were also present at the programme organized to mark the completion of four years of cheetah reintroduction. (UPDATED ON 20TH SEPTEMBER 2026)
