Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has asserted that his government will not permit any tampering with the natural form of the Aravalli mountain range, emphasizing a commitment to conservation. He directed officials to conduct joint drives against illegal mining and stated that no new mining leases will be granted, adhering to Supreme Court and central government directives. The state has also launched a Rs 250-crore Green Aravalli Development Project for afforestation. However, opposition parties and activists express apprehension regarding potential mining activities following a recent Supreme Court verdict.
