Kamal Nath targeted the government – Cheetah Project
In the past, former Madhya Pradesh Prime Minister Kamal Nath has centered the authorities over the dying of a leopard. He said, “Despite the continuous deaths of leopards in Kuno National Park, no such plan has come up so far, which has taken any initiative to save the lives of these wild animals.
He said that making wild animals attractions for political exhibitionism does not befit the elected representatives of a democracy. I request the responsible people to discuss with environmentalists and scientists and come up with such a plan soon, which can save the lives of these creatures.
