Aravalli Committee Urged to Visit All Districts Before Submitting Report
The Supreme Court-appointed Aravalli committee has faced criticism from environmentalists and local activists for not visiting mining-affected villages across all 64 districts spanning five states. The Aravalli Virasat Jan Abhiyaan (AVJA) urged the committee to extend its August 31 deadline and conduct meaningful consultations with rural communities before submitting its report. Concerns were also raised about limited public hearings held mainly in urban centers and the presence of mining lobbyists potentially influencing the process.
