Aravallis

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside Haryana Environment Minister Rao Narbir Singh's residence in Gurgaon following the Supreme Court's acceptance of a new definition for the Aravalli hills. Activists warn that the ruling, which protects only hills over 100 meters tall, will expose 99% of the range in Haryana to mining and real estate, worsening air quality in Delhi-NCR. They submitted a letter with demands and plan to file a public interest litigation.
