New Delhi, May 25

Two more cubs born to Namibian cheetah Jwala died during treatment at Kuno National Park (KNP) in Madhya Pradesh, a forest official said on Thursday. Jwala was translocated from Namibia last year.

With their deaths, three of the four cubs born to Jwala have died within a span of 72 hours.

The fourth cub has been shifted to a hospital at Palpur in MP. Forest officials are in touch with experts from Namibia and South Africa for further treatment.

Jwala had given birth to four cubs on March 24 this year. In all, six cheetahs, including these three cubs, have died at the KNP over the past few months.

Last week, the Supreme Court had expressed concern over the death of the cheetahs and had suggested shifting them from Madhya Pradesh to Rajasthan.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
