At the same time, veterinarians are concerned about the stress level of cheetahs over long distances. Assistant veterinarian Robin Keys explains that it is much better to have a smaller cage than a larger one, as it does not give them (the cheetahs) space to try to run outside.

Five female and three male cheetahs will be brought to India from Namibia. Preparations are on to bring them to India through jumbo jets. This ultralong range aircraft can fly to India without stopping. Some changes have also been made in the main cabin of this aircraft to keep the cages of cheetahs safe.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav will also be present. A 10-feet high platform has been built for the arrival of these leaders. On his birthday, the Prime Minister will open the cage gate at 12.05 pm and leave the cheetahs in their homes.
In the first month, cheetahs will be quarantined in a circle of 50 x 30 meters. The cheetahs will land at a distance of about 200 meters from the enclosure. When the isolation is over, they will be taken to a bigger enclosure. In a few days, more of his friends will come from Africa.
