India's redefinition of the Aravalli range to exclude hills under 100 meters sparks environmental backlash.
The central government's decision to redefine the Aravalli mountain range, limiting protections to hills over 100 meters, has sparked widespread criticism.
Rajasthan's Leader of the Opposition, Tika Ram Jully, condemned the move as environmentally damaging, warning it could accelerate desertification, deplete groundwater, and threaten rivers vital to agriculture.
He highlighted the contradiction with the government’s tree-planting campaign, noting that up to 90% of the range could now face mining.
The Supreme Court approved the redefinition but paused new mining leases pending a sustainable management plan.
Environmentalists, former leaders, and tribal communities have joined protests, citing ecological, cultural, and livelihood risks.
