Madhya Pradesh: Oban, one of the four cheetahs that were released into the wild in Madhya Pradesh's Kuno National Park last year, has reportedly escaped from the park and strayed into an agricultural field in Jhar Baroda village, located about 20 kilometers away. The cheetah was being monitored through a collar attached to it. According to officials, Oban was on the move towards the village from Saturday night, as per the tracker attached to its collar. Upon receiving the information, the monitoring team reached the village, and efforts are underway to bring the cheetah back to the national park. Oban and the other three cheetahs were brought from Namibia under an exchange program, and their release in Kuno National Park was considered a significant step towards reviving the cheetah population in India.
