This Special Report investigates the critical link between the depleting Aravalli forest and Delhi’s worsening air pollution crisis. A controversial Supreme Court definition that classifies ‘Aravalli’ status only to hills over 100 meters high could leave 90% of the range vulnerable to mining. Environmentalists Vimlendu Jha and Vaishali Rana of the Aravalli Bachao Citizen Movement warn that nearly 25% of the Aravallis has already vanished due to illegal mining, removing a natural barrier against dust. While Union Environment Minister Bhupinder Yadav states that processes against illegal mining have been strengthened, a ground report from Alwar reveals it continues rampantly. The report highlights a Stanford University study projecting it could take India 200 years to achieve clean air at the current pace. Meanwhile, Delhi’s administration holds meetings to tackle traffic and pollution hotspots, as experts like Mohammad Rafiuddin of CEEW argue current vehicle pollution controls are insufficient to manage the ongoing crisis.
