Activists Challenge SC on Aravalli Protections

Some people who care about the environment are planning a long walk, called the Aravalli Sanrakshan Yatra, to protect the Aravalli hills.

These hills are very old and important for clean air and water.

The Supreme Court made a rule that might allow more mining in these hills, which the activists don't like.

They want the court to change its rule and include the people who live near the hills in the decision-making process.

They also want the hills to be protected as a special area because mining can harm the environment and the people who live there.

The walk will start in Gujarat and go through several states before reaching Delhi, taking 40 days.

Additionally, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the granting of retrospective environmental clearances, arguing that they are bad in law and detrimental to public health.
