Amid protests in different parts of Rajasthan demanding the protection of the Aravallis, a crucial mountain range in the state, Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said in the core area of ​​the Aravalli range, mining is simply allowed. “Let me clarify that mining is not permitted in the NCR (National Capital Region), so the question doesn’t even arise. The judgment of the Supreme Court also states that no new mining leases will be granted. In the core area of ​​the Aravalli range, mining is simply not allowed,” he said.
