On Aravalli hills, PM Modis global talk doesnt match local action on environment: Congress

The Congress party claims the redefinition of Aravalli hills will leave over 90% unprotected, opening them to mining and real estate. Jairam Ramesh accused the government of weakening environmental laws, stating the new definition only protects hills over 100 meters. This move is seen as an assault on ecological balance, despite a recent ban on new mining leases.
