Aravalli Hills In Spotlight After Supreme Court Ruling
Lawyer and environmental activist Hitendra Gandhi has written to the Chief Justice of India asking that the '100-metre' decision about Aravalli - that only landforms rising 100 meters or more above local terrain now qualify as "Aravalli". - which has sparked a storm of protests, be reconsidered. In the letter, which has also been sent to the President of India, he said a narrow, height-based criterion could unintentionally weaken environmental protection across North-West India.
