Environmentalists warn of dire consequences if Aravallis are destroyed
On Saturday, a group of environmentalists gathered in Gurgaon to talk about the importance of the Aravalli mountain ranges.
They want to stop all mining and construction in these mountains because they help keep the air clean, provide water, and support many plants and animals.
The meeting was peaceful and included many people, even some schoolchildren.
They explained that if the Aravallis are destroyed, it could make the weather very hot, even in winter.
They also talked about how the mountains help many different areas in India, not just Gurgaon.
The group hopes that by raising awareness, they can protect these important mountains for the future.
