Rajasthan MPs and Experts Call for Extended Consultations on Aravallis Report
As the Supreme Court-appointed High-Powered Committee (HPC) nears its August 31 deadline to report on the Aravallis, Rajasthan MPs, ecologists, and community leaders have raised concerns about limited stakeholder engagement and inadequate field visits. They urge the HPC to extend its timeline to include wider consultations, especially with mining-affected tribal and rural communities. Critics highlight environmental and health impacts from mining and stress the need for comprehensive scientific study and inclusive public hearings across the Aravalli range.
