“Inadequate space for cheetahs in Kuno Nat’l Park”

Bhopal (PTI): Madhya Pradesh’s Kuno National Park (KNP), which has seen the death of two cheetahs in less than a month, has “inadequate space” for these felines brought from Africa, an exWildlife Institute of India official has claimed.

The National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA), which is overseeing the ambitious cheetah reintroduction project in the country, has called a meeting in is spread over an area of 748 sq km and has a buffer zone of 487 sq km. will help Indian and Russian citizens to make hassle-free payments in Indian rupees and Russian ruble in their respective countries, sources said.

RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN TO DEAL WITH SERIAL ESCAPEES: EX-OFFICIAL Bhopal (PTI): Notably, months before the cheetahs were brought to India from Africa, a risk management plan was drafted stating a contingency plan is in the process of being put in place for dealing with serial escapees. Permissions are being obtained for the release of these animals into the Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve. This protected area has an 80 km fence enclosure, sufficiently stocked with game (place with herbivores population), to hold serial escapees. This enclosure is free of tigers, but does support a low density of leopards, wolves and striped hyenas, it said.

WII former dean Yadvendradev Vikramsinh Jhala, who was part of the cheetah project in the past, told PTI that KNP has inadequate space for these animals.

“We have to make (more than one) cheetah populations and manage it like a metapopulation where you move animals from one place to another,” the former WII official said.

The PayNow-UPI linkage is the world’s first real-time payment systems linkage to use a scalable cloud-based infrastructure.

The meeting, cochaired by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and Russia

Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, also agreed to explore the possibility of interaction of Unified Payments Interface (UPI) of National Payment Corporation of India and the Faster Payments System (FPS) of the Bank of Russia.
