Supreme Court Reviews Aravalli Hills Definition

Supreme Court Reviews Aravalli Hills Definition

The Supreme Court of India has decided to rethink its recent order about the Aravalli Hills.

The court had said that only hills taller than 100 meters should be considered part of the Aravalli range.

But many people were confused and criticized this decision.

So, the court has now decided to form a special group of experts to look into the issue.

This group will check if smaller hills should also be included.

The court's decision is unusual because it decided to review its own order without anyone asking it to.

The Aravalli Hills are very important for the environment, and the court wants to make sure its decisions are clear and fair.

The government says the new definition helps avoid confusion, but environmentalists worry that it could lead to more mining and harm the environment.
