Supreme Court Panel Ends Aravalli Consultation Amid Criticism Over Limited Outreach
The Supreme Court-appointed High Powered Committee (HPC) concluded a 21-day public consultation on defining the Aravalli hill range, focusing on four cities despite the range spanning multiple districts across Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. Activists and local communities criticized the process as rushed and inadequate, citing limited outreach to rural and vulnerable populations and procedural issues. They urged the HPC to seek an extension for broader consultations. The Supreme Court declined to extend the deadline but allowed submissions beyond it, emphasizing the committee's ongoing work and future report.
