INTERVIEW | Aravalli should be defined in terms of geology than height
Professor C R Babu is a leading environmentalist and ecologist from the University of Delhi, known for restoring degraded landscapes and biodiversity across the Aravalli region. Having explored the Aravallis across four states, the Professor Emeritus at Centre for Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystems of DU explains its ecological impact and possible solutions with TNIE . Excerpts: What was the previous definition of the Aravallis, and how has the Supreme Court changed this definition? The Aravalli range has never had a precise definition comparable to the Himalayas or the Vindhyas, as it is an ancient geological landform shaped over billions of years by weathering and erosion. Estimated to be around 3.2 billion years old, it is far older than the Himalayas. The Aravallis largely exist as ranges, though in many states they appear as low hills or scattered boulders. In Delhi, especially around Mehrauli area, they survive mainly as isolated boulders, while extensive mining has erased large sections in Haryana. Rajasthan, particularly around Udaipur, retains more prominent hill formations, though areas like Ajmer are largely boulder-dominated. SC stay on Aravalli order leaves BJP on the defensive in Rajasthan as Congress calls off agitation What do you think of November 20 definition of the Aravallis given by the Supreme Court? It was entirely unscientific. I believe that the Aravalli should be defined in terms of geology rather than height. During my work as a member of the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel, we defined the Western Ghats based on geological characteristics and not just elevation. The Supreme Courts November 20 decision was ecologically untenable. I wonder how a judgment could operationalise mining while leaving areas above 100 meters intact. It appeared to be designed for mining and development purposes. Based on your conservation work, how do the Aravallis function ecologically, and how would mining affect them? The Aravallis act as a natural barrier, slowing the spread of the Thar Desert toward the Gangetic plains, and recharging aquifers. The Aravallis have immense potential for recharging groundwater, estimated to produce about 2 million liters/hectare of the landscape. Because Aravalli aquifers are interconnected, any disruption can destabilise the groundwater system, worsening drought in the already water-stressed Delhi-NCR. Proposed open-cast mining, not underground extraction, would cause irreversible damagedestroying habitats, fragmenting wildlife corridors used by leopards and hyenas, and degrading scrub forests and native tree cover vital for reptiles, pollinators, and grassland birds. Redefining the Aravallis also undermines their crucial role as a regional aquifer. One side the government is proposing mining in the Aravallis, while it is creating green wall on the other? It is ironic that while the government is proposing massive open-cast mining in the Aravalli region, it is simultaneously creating a green wall to restore it. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated this wall, which is a commendable effort to rehabilitate the area. However, allowing open-cast mining will not only destroy existing vegetation, but also prevent new plants from surviving. In this situation, our green wall is bound to fail. Open-cast mining will also accelerate the advancement of the Thar Desert towards the Gangetic plains. How can India balance development with conservation of the Aravalli region? The current approach to mining in the Aravalli region is certainly not the solution. We are completely neglecting the natural ecological functions of the Aravalli landforms. This could ultimately jeopardise the Gangetic plains, which have been the food bowl of our country for centuries. It is crucial to strike a balance in the development process. Limited and scientifically regulated mining could meet our needs without harming the environment.
SC stay on Aravalli order leaves BJP on the defensive in Rajasthan as Congress calls off agitation
JAIPUR: Amid political turmoil in four states over the protection of the Aravalli range, the Supreme Court on Monday stayed the implementation of its November 20 order. While the Congress in Rajasthan welcomed the move, the BJP said the state government remained fully committed to conserving the Aravallis and would study the order before taking any further steps. The controversy began after the Supreme Court, acting on the Centres recommendation, redefined the Aravalli range to include only areas above 100 metres in height. The move triggered widespread protests across Rajasthan, with citizens, environmental activists, social organisations and opposition parties launching a statewide agitation. It was one of the rare instances in recent years when an environmental issue led to mass mobilisation across the state. Following the Supreme Courts latest intervention, the BJP, which had earlier appeared defensive, now finds itself under increased pressure. Responding to the situation, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Joraram Kumawat said no negligence would be tolerated in a sensitive ecological zone like the Aravalli range. Supreme Court stays November 20 verdict, to revisit definition of Aravalli hills and ranges The Aravalli is not only important for Rajasthan but for the environmental balance of the entire North India. It plays a crucial role in groundwater recharge, biodiversity conservation and climate regulation. Protecting the Aravalli is our top priority, Kumawat said. After the courts decision, the Congress, which had been protesting across the state, announced that it would end its agitation. However, the party continued to target the BJP and the Centre over the issue. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot welcomed the Supreme Courts order and launched a sharp attack on the central government and Union Environment Minister Bhupendra Yadav. The Supreme Courts decision is welcome. The central government and the environment minister were trying to mislead the people on the Aravalli issue, Gehlot said. Speaking to the media in Jaipur, Gehlot said public sentiment was clearly against the earlier decision. Everyone could understand the seriousness of the issue, but the central government and its ministers remained adamant. I still do not understand why they failed to see the larger picture, he said. At the administrative level, the state government has announced strict action against mining activities in the Aravalli region. A joint campaign to curb illegal mining was launched across Rajasthan on Monday and will continue until January 15. The drive will be carried out in 20 districts. Principal Secretary, Mines Department, T. Ravikanth said Special Investigation Teams (SITs) had been constituted in each district, headed by the respective district collectors, to ensure effective enforcement during the campaign. The Supreme Courts latest order comes at a time when more than 1,200 mining leases already exist across the Aravalli range in Rajasthan. District-wise data show Rajsamand accounting for over 540 leases, followed by Udaipur with 162 and Jaipur with 139. Together, these leases cover 17,393 hectares, approximately 174 square kilometres, highlighting the deep entrenchment of mining activities in the region. On Monday, while staying its November 20 order that had permitted mining on hills below 100 metres in height, the Supreme Court also imposed a complete ban on mining in the Aravalli range until January 21, 2026. The court further directed the formation of a new expert committee to examine the issue. The panel will study the report of the existing expert committee and submit its recommendations to the court.

JAIPUR: Environmentalists and social organisations staged demonstrations against the Supreme Courts acceptance of the Union Environment Ministrys definition of the Aravalli mountains in several cities of Rajasthan on Monday. Meanwhile, a political war of words has erupted between former chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav. Protests were held in Udaipur, Jodhpur, Sikar, Alwar and Ajmer, with police action reported at some places. Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully described the Aravallis as the lungs of Rajasthan and warned that the agitation would intensify if the decision was not reversed. Responding to the protests, Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma accused the Congress of spreading misinformation, saying, Former CM Ashok Gehlot is misleading the public on the Aravalli issue. The state government is fully committed to protecting the Aravalli range, and no decision will be allowed that causes harm to Rajasthans environment. The BJP further intensified its attack, with former Leader of the Opposition Rajendra Rathore alleging that Gehlot was misinterpreting the Supreme Court order for political gains. Rathore said the 100-metre criterion was finalised during the Congress regime in 2003. Centre will draw up new conservation plan for Aravalli, says Environment Minister amid row over SC order Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav also sought to clarify the Centres stand , stating, The Aravalli range will remain protected. Hills and slopes above 100 metres continue to be under protection, mining is completely banned in the NCR, and limited mining is permitted in only 0.19 per cent of the area. Twenty wildlife sanctuaries and four tiger reserves in the Aravallis are fully secure. Yadav added that the government is committed to keeping the Aravallis green and to strengthen protection standards in the range. The Aravalli range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world, and we are fully committed to ensuring that it remains green. At the same time, it is important to establish clear and uniform standards for its protection, MinisterYadav said in an interview. The 100-metre criterion refers to the entire mountain structure, from the peak down to the ground level where its permanent base is located. In the absence of a clear definition earlier, there were irregularities in the grant of mining permits in the Aravalli region, he said. Gehlot, however, strongly rebutted the Centres claims. In a statement issued onMonday night, Gehlot said, The claims being made by the Union environment minister are completely misleading and far from the truth. He argued that the 100-metre definition should not be viewed in isolation and alleged that recent decisions point towards a systematic weakening of environmental safeguards. Gehlot also alleged that attempts to alter the Critical Tiger Habitat in Sariska and the September 5, 2023 notification bringing the Supreme Court-monitored Central Empowered Committee under the Environment Ministry reflect the governments intent to open protected areas to mining interests. With protests spreading and political rhetoric escalating, the controversy over the Aravalli definition is expected to intensify in the coming days.

Rajasthan faces academic turmoil as five university vice-chancellors ousted amid protests
JAIPUR: A major controversy has erupted in Rajasthan after the removal or forced resignation of five university vice-chancellors under the tenure of Governor Haribhau Bagde, who serves as Chancellor of state universities. The actions follow multiple inquiries into alleged financial irregularities, administrative misuse and contentious public remarks, but the departures have also been linked to sustained pressure from the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). Senior officials in the states higher education sector said most of the ousters came after persistent protests by the ABVP. While administrative inquiries cited financial mismanagement and misuse of power, the vice-chancellors and several political observers claimed that the removals were driven by organised campaigns by the ABVP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). Four vice-chancellors were removed by the Governor, while another resigned under similar pressure. Those removed in recent months include the vice-chancellors of Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner; Agricultural University, Jodhpur; Shri Karan Narendra Agricultural University, Jobner (Jaipur); and Brij University. The vice-chancellor of Mohanlal Sukhadia University (MLSU) in Udaipur stepped down after intense protests. The developments have sparked criticism from academics and opposition leaders, who say political pressure is undermining institutional autonomy and weakening higher education governance in the state. At Maharaja Surajmal Brij University in Bharatpur, Ramesh Chandra was removed as VC by the Governor following an inquiry into alleged arbitrary decisions and financial loss to the institution. Chandra, however, maintained that not a single allegation was proven and claimed the removal was orchestrated by the ABVP and the RSS prant pracharak. He said the ABVP had been protesting for 1.5 years before his ouster. In Mohanlal Sukhadia University, Prof. Sunita Mishra faced massive protests after she reportedly called Mughal emperor Aurangzeb a great administrator in September 2025. ABVP activists vandalised the university administrative block during the agitation, and demands for her resignation were echoed by the BJP and Karni Sena before she eventually stepped down. The turmoil comes at a time when Rajasthans state-funded universities are battling a deep financial crisis. In a virtual meeting with Chief Secretary V. Srinivas last Saturday, vice-chancellors outlined their distressing financial situation, with some institutions struggling to meet even basic operational requirements. Jai Narain Vyas University in Jodhpur has reportedly taken loans to pay salaries, while two Udaipur-based universities Maharana Pratap University of Agriculture and Technology (MPUAT) and Mohanlal Sukhadia University are contemplating selling portions of their land to remain functional. Rajasthan has 29 state-funded universities, including 17 under the higher education department and six under the agriculture department. At the meeting, VCs warned that without immediate government support, several institutions may soon be forced to shut down. Those present told the media that universities were unable to cover basic expenses. More than 60% of teaching and non-teaching posts are vacant, retired employees are awaiting arrears, and institutions cannot afford routine maintenance, one vice-chancellor said.

Four youths killed as speeding car mows down helpers at ChittorgarhKota highway crash site
JAIPUR: Four people lost their lives and three others were critically injured after being hit by a speeding car while they were helping a couple injured in an earlier road accident. The double accident took place on the ChittorgarhKota highway. According to reports, a car coming from the wrong side of the road first hit a couple, Shambhu Lal and his wife Kali Bai, who were riding a motorcycle near Mandana village. The same car then collided with another vehicle. Hearing the sound of the crash, people sitting at a nearby roadside eatery and the occupants of another car rushed to the spot to help the injured. At that moment, a speeding Eeco car travelling from Chittorgarh towards Kota ran over the people who had gathered to help. Immediately after this, three to four more vehicles collided from behind, leading to chaos at the accident site. Two people died on the spot, while a total of 12 others sustained injuries. All the injured were given first aid in Begun and later referred to hospitals in Chittorgarh, Kota, and Udaipur. During treatment, two more people succumbed to their injuries, taking the death toll to four. The deceased have been identified as Sonu Gurjar (25); Foru Gurjar (33); Rajesh Meena (29); and Hemraj Gurjar (35). Ten other people injured in the accident are currently receiving treatment. The injured include Surajmal Gurjar, Sonu Gurjar, Foru Lal, Kanishk, Antarram Das, Raunak, and Daivesh. The bodies of all the deceased were sent for post-mortem examination at the Begun Sub-District Hospital mortuary. Police have apprehended both the drivers - one who was driving on the wrong side of the road and the one driving the Eeco car. A detailed investigation into the incident is underway. Upon receiving information about the accident, Begun MLA Suresh Dhakad reached the mortuary and gathered details from Begun DSP Anjali Singh and Begun SHO Shivlal Meena. SHO Meena said they received information about the accident late at night and inspected the site before seizing the vehicles involved. Speaking about the incident, MLA Dhakad said, This is a deeply tragic accident. Similar incidents have occurred here before because many commuters drive on the wrong side to reach roadside eateries. I have spoken to the police and administration, and I will take up the matter with National Highway authorities. We will work to ensure that an underpass or overpass is constructed here so such accidents do not happen again.

In Tamil, he reiterated Tamil Kalachaaram Uyarvanad, Tamil Moli Uyarvanad, Tamil Indiavin Perumidam (Tamil culture is great, Tamil language is great, Tamil is the pride of India). This year's Kashi-Tamil Sangamam has a very interesting theme. Learn Tamil - Tamil Karkalam, Modi said.

Cyber fraudsters cite terror links to target senior citizens
BHOPAL: Senior citizens in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan are facing a new and highly unsettling cyber-fraud tactic, with criminals impersonating anti-terror investigators, placing victims under a so-called digital arrest, and extorting huge sums by falsely accusing them of involvement in terror funding. In Bhopal, the fear triggered by such calls has already claimed a life. Sixty-eight-year-old advocate Shiv Kumar Verma recently died by suicide at his home. A suicide note, purportedly penned by him, revealed the possibility of him being targeted by cyber fraudsters by threatening stringent action against him for funding the April 22 Pahalgam attack. According to investigators, the note and subsequent probe by Jahangirabad police suggested that fraudsters, possibly posing as anti-terror sleuths, had told him that his HDFC Bank account was being used for terror funding. With no one else at home and terrified of being labelled anti-national, Verma hanged himself. Police say it is the first suicide in Bhopal linked to digital arrest. At least five to seven similar incidents have surfaced in the city involving the elderly over the past 10 days. In Bhopals Kohfiza area, another elderly advocate received calls from men posing as anti-terror cops, but unlike Verma, he realised in time that the callers were fraudsters trying to con him. Others, however, were not so fortunate. A retired bank manager lost `68 lakhhis entire savingsafter being kept under digital arrest by callers who claimed to be investigating terror-related offences. A retired government servant lost around `8 lakh, and an elderly housewife has also reported being targeted in a similar manner. A cyber cell officer confirmed the modus operandi. Earlier, such fraudsters posing as cops or sleuths of investigation agencies extorted money from elderlies by triggering fear of their details having been used for money laundering, narcotics smuggling and human trafficking. But with sustained education and awareness about the menace of digital arrest, the cyber thugs novel modus operandi is creating fear of involvement in terror-related, particularly terror funding cases. Rajasthan has also reported similar incidents. In two to three cases in Jaipur and Udaipur, fraudsters have targeted the elderly by linking them to the Delhi blast case, said Shantanu Singh, SP (State CybercrimeJaipur). In Indore, police say the targeting is systematic. Additional DCP (Crime) Rajesh Dandotiya said, These gangs work in multi layers, one of those layers comprises men and women, who scan the social media activity of senior citizens. The fraudsters zero in on the victims and put them under a digital arrest.
JAIPUR : Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Kisanrao Bagde has accepted the resignation of Mohanlal Sukhadiya University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Sunita Mishra, who recently courted controversy after referring to Mughal ruler Aurangzeb as an efficient administrator. Her remark triggered strong reactions across Udaipur, leading to widespread student protests and a series of formal complaints. The controversy began on 12 September during an international conference on Roadmap for a Developed India held at a local college. Speaking in a historical context, Prof. Mishra described Maharana Pratap, Prithviraj Chauhan and Akbar as good rulers, and referred to Aurangzeb as an efficient administrator. The comments drew immediate backlash. Several student organisations launched protests, and MLA Vishvaraj Singh, a descendant of the former Mewar royal family, also expressed sharp displeasure over her statement. Amid mounting pressure, Prof. Mishra initially refrained from resigning and instead proceeded on leave on 23 September. She still had eight months and nine days left in her tenure. Appointed on 6 August 2023, her term was scheduled to continue until 6 August 2026. However, her resignation has now been formally accepted by the Governor. In addition to the student protests, multiple complaints were filed against Prof. Mishra. Taking these seriously, the state government constituted an inquiry committee chaired by the Udaipur Divisional Commissioner. The committee examined the allegations and submitted its report to the government. Meanwhile, the states Technical Advisor, B. P. Saraswat, also criticised her remarks. Eventually, Prof. Mishra stepped down from the post of Vice-Chancellor. Her resignation has reopened a broader debate: should historical discourse remain rooted in documented facts, or be shaped by public sentiment and contemporary sensitivities? With the position now vacant, Mohanlal Sukhadiya University may get a new Vice-Chancellor within the next three months. A search committee will be formed on the Governors instructions. The committee will invite applications from academicians with at least 10 years of professorial experience, shortlist the candidates and send five names to the Governor. Governor Bagde will then recommend one name, which will be approved by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma. This time, it is widely expected that the university may appoint an academic from Mewar or Rajasthan as its next Vice-Chancellor.
