Jairam Ramesh Exclusive: Modi Govt Embraced Flawed Aravalli Redefinition to Aid Mining Lobby

Описание: On this Special Report, Senior Congress MP Jairam Ramesh attacks the Modi government over the controversial redefinition of the Aravalli hills. Speaking to India Today, the former Environment Minister argues that the new '100-meter plus' criteria, accepted by the Centre after the Supreme Court's November 20th verdict, will open ecologically fragile areas to real estate and mining. Ramesh refutes Union Minister Bhupender Yadav’s claim that the Congress-led Rajasthan government had earlier supported similar norms, citing the 2012 Forest Survey of India (FSI) definition that protected the entire ecosystem. He highlights a Central Empowered Committee report identifying 164 mining leases in the region and asserts the Congress will respect expert committee findings if the process is transparent.
