Supreme Court Stays 100m Aravalli Definition After Gen Z Protests in Jaipur

In a significant development, the Supreme Court of India has stayed its earlier order regarding the controversial '100m height rule' for defining the Aravalli Range. The decision follows widespread 'Gen Z outcry' and protests, particularly in Jaipur, where youth demanded protection for the ancient hill system. The Court acknowledged that the previous benchmark might be inadequate and could open ecologically sensitive areas to mining. A new expert committee will now be constituted to scientifically re-examine the definition. The report highlights how young voices successfully challenged the policy to save the environment.
