\n

On 24-12-2025, the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change announced Directions to protect the entire Aravalli range and curb illegal mining.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key Highlights of Aravalli Range Directions:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    The Centre has directed State Governments to impose a complete ban on granting any new mining leases<\/span> across the Aravalli terrain<\/span>, which stretches from Delhi to Gujarat.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    This move aims to protect the continuity of the Aravalli mountain range<\/span> and prevent unregulated mining activities that threaten its ecological balance.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The Centre will further expand mining-protected and restricted areas in the entire Aravalli region, considering local topography (soil texture, rivers, valleys, elevations<\/span>), ecology, and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    The Ministry has instructed the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education<\/span> (‘ICFRE’) to identify additional ecologically sensitive zones and develop a science-based plan for sustainable mining and conservation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    The plan will assess cumulative environmental impact, ecological carrying capacity, and prescribe restoration and rehabilitation measures.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    The management plan will be placed in the public domain for wider stakeholder consultations to ensure transparency and inclusivity.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    States<\/span> have been directed to ensure strict compliance with environmental safeguards for ongoing mining operations as per Supreme Court orders<\/span>, with additional restrictions to protect the environment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    The Union Government reaffirmed its commitment to conserving the Aravalli ecosystem<\/span>, which plays a vital role in preventing desertification, conserving biodiversity, recharging water bodies, and providing essential environmental services for the region.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
