Notably, the Madhya Pradesh government is worried about the continuous death of animals in the Kuno National Park. The villagers who were hoping for area development from the Cheetah Project are now very worried about the health of cheetahs, therefore, the villagers are reciting Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra and Sunderkand.

Cheetahs brought from Namibia to Kuno

Local folk artist Giriraj Paliwal said that the villagers are gathering in the Mansapuran Hanuman temple and performing havan. The prayers are being offered for the well-being of the remaining cheetahs.
