The Congress on Thursday (November 27, 2025) criticised the Modi government
after reports said the Environment Ministry has suggested a new definition for
the Aravalli Hills. The party said this change could cause serious harm to
the environment and public health, and it should be reviewed immediately.
Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the new definition is supposed to limit
mining, but in reality, it would mean that 90% of the Aravalli Hills would no
longer be officially considered part of the Aravalli range.
