Aravalli Row: Congress Fears 'Plunder' Under New 100-Metre Hill Rule; BJP Cites 0.19% Data

In this Special Report, India Today's Dev Ankur Wadhawan tracks the political showdown in Rajasthan over the new definition of Aravalli hills. The Congress alleges the Supreme Court's order, defining a hill as 100 metres above local relief, will lead to the 'plunder' of the region by mining mafias. The report highlights a letter from a mine owner alleging bribery demands. Union Minister Bhupender Yadav rejects these charges, asserting that only 0.198% of the area will be open for mining. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot also questions the move citing the Sariska Tiger Reserve.
