Kuno Palpur National Park in Sheopur district is waiting for lions for 27 years.

Bhopal: The state government will once again go to the Supreme Court to take the Asiatic Lion from the Gujarat government. The government has started its preparation.


The court will also be told that most of the conditions of the Gujarat government have been fulfilled by one year, yet the lions are not being given. Whereas from the development of the park, the MP government has to spend a lot of money on its supervision. At the same time, the purpose behind shifting lions is also not being fulfilled.

Kuno Palpur National Park in Sheopur district is waiting for lions for 27 years. The state government has fulfilled all the necessary conditions, which the Supreme Court's Expert Committee and the Gujarat Government had placed before him.

The Indian Wildlife Institute (WII) scientists of Dehradun are also telling the enough arrangements for lions in Kuno Palpur. Still, the situation is not clear about the lions being brought to fruition.
In view of this situation, the state government has decided to go to court again because taking the danger of extinction point of view, lion was decided to be shifted to other states outside Gujarat in 1994 for their protection and conservation. Last year more than two dozen lions died from infection in Gir Sanctuary. So, now it has become a condition to save them.

Government change
Changing the government in MP changed the lion's arrival. The BJP government was in power for 15 years and after the former Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, the Shivraj Singh government of the MP could not show strictly in this matter.


Now there is a Congress government in the state, which, in any case, will try to fulfill the Supreme Court's decision. The court had passed a decision to lodge MP in 2013. Since then, the forest officers of Gujarat are entangled in this matter. The Empower Committee (Empowered Committee) always keeps the new terms.

Will talk in court

Quote:Kuno Palpur is fully prepared for lions. The notification of the National Park, which is being said to be a major obstacle in shifting, has also been made. Now we will keep our point in front of the Central Government and the Supreme Court. - Umang Singhar, Minister of Forests
