Calls for Haryana Budget to Fund Aravalli Conservation and Environmental Restoration

Ahead of Haryana's 2026-27 budget, environmental groups and political leaders have urged the government to allocate funds for Aravalli range conservation, addressing issues like illegal mining, deforestation, and waste management. Proposals include forming a dedicated Aravalli Task Force, revamping the forest department, and removing landfill waste contaminating groundwater. A recent government-partnered report highlights the ecological and economic benefits of restoring the Aravallis amid ongoing legal debates over the range's definition and protection measures.
