Aravalli row: People protest, government insists hills are safe, what's the reality? Experts weigh in

This special edition of To The Point focusses on the consequences of the Supreme Court's November 20, 2025, ruling, which redefines the Aravalli range based on a 100-meter elevation threshold. This decision has ignited nationwide 'Save Aravalli' protests amid warnings from activists and experts that up to 90% of the hills could lose legal protection. Meanwhile, the government has called the claims mere propaganda. So, what's the reality? Watch as the programme explores concerns that the new classification could accelerate illegal mining and ecological damage across Haryana and Rajasthan, impacting the NCR's water security and air quality. It also features a political debate with BJP spokesperson Raman Malik defending the government's stance and citing the 'Green Wall' project, while Congress spokesperson Dr. Nishant Anand argues the order legalises plunder.
