Only 0.2% Aravalli may be eligible for mining: Environment Minister

Reacting to the criticism surrounding the new definition of the Aravalli Hills, Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said, "Stop spreading misinformation!" "Out of the Aravalli’s total area of 1.44 lakh square kilometres, only 0.19% may be eligible for mining," he added. In November, SC accepted the definition that only an elevation of 100m or more will be considered Aravalli Hills.
