thebalanced.newsSupreme Court Upholds Bijwasan Project, Differentiates Invasive Cover from Forest in Aravalli
On March 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of India upheld the redevelopment of railway land near Bijwasan in the Aravalli region, distinguishing between natural forests and invasive green cover. The court noted that invasive species like Prosopis juliflora, which dominate about 70% of the area, disrupt native biodiversity and do not qualify as forest. The judgment emphasized ecological quality over mere green cover in defining forest land, dismissing an appeal against the project.
