How Illegal Mining Crushed Aravalli Hills?

The Aravalli Hills span nearly 1.47 lakh square kilometers across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, covering 37 districts. They play a vital role in stopping the expansion of the Thar Desert, recharging groundwater, and supporting rich biodiversity. Only 0.19% of this area allows sustainable mining, yet illegal mining has continued since the 1960s due to the lack of a clear definition. To address this, the Supreme Court formed a committee that adopted Rajasthan’s 2002 definition of hills. As per the ruling, 90% of the Aravalli region is now protected, with no relaxation allowed. #aravalihills #aravali #arvallinews
