Sheopur. Naiduniya representative. The gates of Kuno Sanctuary are about to open for tourists after the rainy season. The management will open all three gates of the park on October 6. After this, tourists can roam in Kuno National Park and see the wild animals here. Not now but after a few days they may also see leopards. No decision has been taken yet regarding the date of releasing the leopards in the open. The management has started preparations to open the gates of the park.
Let us tell you that Kuno National Park opens for tourists every year on 1st October. But this year the roads were damaged due to rain, due to which the gates of the park were not opened on October 1. A day earlier, the park management had issued the information that the gates would not be opened due to the roads being damaged due to rain, but due to the clear weather in the last few days, the roads have become fine, after which the park management decided to open the gates. It has been decided. It is believed that Tiktoli, Pipalbari and Ahera gates will be opened on Sunday, October 6.
Leopards will be released in a few days
Right now the leopards are in the enclosure. They have not been left in the open. But now there is less water in the drains and rivers inside the park. Therefore the management is considering releasing the leopards in the open. The date for releasing the leopards into the open will be decided soon. This means that within a week, tourists can also see leopards kicking here and there in the park.
The park can be opened for tourists on October 6. If all conditions remain fine then the gates of the park will be opened. However, no decision has been taken yet to leave things out in the open.
