Quote:Forest Minister wrote a letter to the Prime Minister

Forest Minister Umang Singhar has resumed efforts to bring lions of Gir from Gujarat. He has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in this regard. Also asked for an appointment with him. During the meeting, Singhar will apprise the PM on the arbitrary attitude of the Gujarat government even after completing the necessary facilities at the Kuno Palpur National Park in Sheopur district. The minister will demand gir lion state as a gift.
The Lion project of the central government started in the year 1994, which is still incomplete. In connection with this project and bringing lions, the state government has been in correspondence with Gujarat and the central government for 27 years. In the year 2003, all information about habitat and prey in Kuno Palpur given to Gujarat.

Now, the government has fulfilled 85 per cent of the technical committee's conditions. The Expert Committee of the Supreme Court has also agreed on shifting of lions to Kuno Palpur. The Supreme Court had given instructions to the Gujarat government to shift the lions within six months of 2013. Even after this, the Gujarat government is not ready to give the lions. However, a contempt petition has been filed in the Supreme Court by RTI activist Ajay Dubey in this case.

Shifting is necessary for conservation
Singhar will tell the PM during the meeting that shifting is necessary for the conservation and growth of lions. Their favorable habitat has been prepared in Madhya Pradesh. The climatic conditions here are positive for them. Apart from this, they will also talk about the potential threats to this species in Gir. It will also tell that the people of Gujarat have to bear the brunt of increasing of lion numbers in the Gir Sanctuary leading to conflict. Last month, a herd of lions entered a city.
