The All India Kisan Sabha Haryana has joined a campaign to protect the Aravalli mountain range from mining, following a Supreme Court decision. AIKS vice president Inderjit Singh criticized the central government and four BJP-ruled states for not adequately defending the region's environmental interests. He warned that excluding hills below 100 meters from protection and allowing mining would be catastrophic, impacting agriculture, water resources, and potentially leading to desertification. The AIKS plans to raise public awareness about the consequences of this 'unscientific definition' and unchecked mining.
