The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Supreme Court-constituted Aravalli committee has opened a 21-day window for stakeholders to send in representations, suggestions and inputs on the definition and delineation of the Aravalli hill range.
- Stakeholders invited to respond include environmentalists, mining lease holders and local communities, and submissions should ideally be backed by documentary or verifiable evidence via email or an official Google form.
- The committee, formed on May 25 and headed by Kanchan Devi, must review the Centre's report and submit its own findings by August 31.
- The move comes amid criticism that the panel, made up mainly of former government officers who report to the Environment Ministry, may not meet the court's criteria for impartiality and independence.
What to watch next
- What feedback stakeholders submit during the 21-day window
- Whether concerns over the committee's neutrality lead to any challenge or change
- The committee's report due by August 31
