Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.

The Aravali hills in the state of Rajasthan are being diminished due to rampant mining and urbanisation causing frequent sandstorms and posing a significant threat to local biodiversity. But villagers and initiatives are standing up against it.

How much Aravalli range vanished till date? Any data available?

[abhishekshukla]

CM gehlot is also Mining mafia. His son is operating/own almost all mine in rajasthan

[lakshyavarshney]

We need both physical and cultural environmentalism

[shujahasan]

Unfortunately, we all are responsible for this ecological devastation.

[aatifhusain]

No it's not, dust are mostly due to undergoing construction projects over multiple areas, even a 5 grader can guess that's it's impossible for dust from aravalli to spread all over Delhi, please stop being blabbering liehole

[shaikh.quadeer]

when the number is so high of illegal mining than you can't say its illegal cause gvt wont let you move a single stone without there permission than how could be so much minings are illegal they are taking their part happily 😂

[dokudokunoooo]

Cover the Manipur topic, it's now or never.

[sidharthvaidwan]

This topic is so much ignored, it is high time to work and limit the exploitation of aravali. The aravalli are getting hollow and vanishing risking the cause of dessertation of NCR region. As it acts as a shield in front of the dust storms of West thar.

[ritaranee]

Good to see such development under BJP
