During the jeep safari, PM Modi, who was accompanied by some ministers and senior forest department officials, was also seen capturing pictures of lions.
In a post on X later, he reiterated the commitment to "protect and preserve the incredible biodiversity of our planet" on the occasion of World Wildlife Day.
"Every species plays a vital role -- let's safeguard their future for generations to come. We also take pride in India's contributions towards preserving and protecting wildlife," he wrote and tagged a video showing him taking jungle safaris in the recent years.
