A Supreme Court‑appointed panel will travel to South Rajasthan between October 11 and 13 to examine issues concerning the Aravalli hills.
A panel constituted by the Supreme Court is scheduled to visit the southern part of Rajasthan from October 11 to 13. The team will focus on the Aravalli range, which has been the subject of environmental and developmental debates across the state. During the three‑day visit, the panel members are expected to meet local officials, survey affected areas and gather data on land‑use practices.
The Supreme Court's involvement underscores the growing concern over the ecological health of the Aravalli hills, which serve as a vital green belt for the region. While the court has not disclosed the specific agenda, past orders have sought to curb illegal mining, unchecked construction and deforestation in the range.
The panel's findings will be compiled into a report that will be submitted to the court for further action. Stakeholders, including state authorities and environmental groups, are awaiting the outcomes, which could shape future policy and enforcement measures in the area.
