The Supreme Court‑appointed panel reviewing the Aravalli region has requested an additional six months to finalize its report.
The Supreme Court formed a high‑level panel to examine environmental and developmental issues affecting the Aravalli hills across several states. The panel’s mandate includes assessing mining proposals, construction projects and conservation measures in the ecologically sensitive range.
In a recent petition, the panel argued that extensive field surveys, stakeholder consultations and data analysis require more time than originally allotted. Consequently, it has asked the court for a six‑month extension to complete its findings and recommendations.
The court will now consider the request, and any approval could push the deadline for the final report well beyond the initial schedule. The panel’s conclusions are expected to shape future policy and regulatory decisions concerning the Aravalli ecosystem.
