MP govt refuses RTI info on Project Cheetah

The Madhya Pradesh forest department denied an RTI request for information on cheetah management, citing national security concerns under Section 8(1)(a). Wildlife activist Ajay Dubey had previously received health information on a cheetah cub. The cheetah conservation project has seen 26 cheetahs, including cubs, after introducing batches from Namibia and South Africa since September 2022.
