Supreme Court takes suo motu cognisance of concerns surrounding definition of Aravalli range

The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognisance of concerns regarding the Aravalli Range's definition, following criticism over a new 100-meter height criterion. Environmentalists warn this could permit mining in the fragile ecosystem, impacting water, food, and climate security for millions. They demand the new definition be withdrawn pending scientific assessment and public consultation.
