The Supreme Court has halted Haryana's jungle safari project in the Aravalli range until experts clarify the definition of 'Aravalli range,' citing concerns about environmental protection and potential damage to the eco-fragile area.
The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognisance of the controversy surrounding the definition of Aravalli hills and is scheduled to hear the matter. The court had previously accepted a uniform definition and banned fresh mining leases in the area.
Experts warn that a new government definition of the Aravali Hills, accepted by the Supreme Court, could lead to environmental degradation and expose Delhi and surrounding regions to harsher weather and drought conditions.
'The natural barrier that is Aravalli, you are demolishing it, then who will stop the desert?' 'In future, I predict that people will roam around with oxygen cylinders in Delhi because they won't be able to breathe.'
'To sustain our growth trajectory, we must continue to explore and capitalise on growth opportunities.'

Founder and patron of the Karni Sena Lokendra Singh Kalvi clarified that the change of the movie's title was only a suggestion.
'340 films have been shot in Rajasthan in the last 50 years.' 'The Rajput community has never opposed any film except for Jodhaa-Akbar and Padmavati.' 'Rajasthan is known for welcoming guests, but why did these two films get into trouble?' 'They got into trouble because these two filmmakers wanted to create a controversy.'
'These people from Mumbai just understand the language of either silver, or shoes,' Lokendra Singh Kalvi, founder patron of the Shree Rajput Karni Sena, tells Dhruv Munjal.
Most of the projects face hurdles such as delay in approvals and lack of coordination between state governments and the railways.
