- The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change has imposed a complete ban on new mining leases across the entire Aravalli Range.
- The ban applies uniformly from Gujarat to the National Capital Region (NCR) to prevent illegal and unregulated mining.
- The Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE) has been tasked with identifying additional no-mining and protected zones.
- ICFRE will also prepare a science-based management plan covering ecological impact, carrying capacity, and restoration measures.
- Existing mining operations will continue only under stricter environmental monitoring and Supreme Court guidelines.
- Protection of the Aravalli is crucial for preventing desertification, conserving biodiversity, and recharging groundwater.
