SC panel seeks more time to define Aravallis, warns against simple metrics
The High-Powered Committee established by the Supreme Court has requested a six-month extension, pushing its deadline to February 28, 2027, for evaluating the Aravalli region. The panel advised against issuing early estimates of the area, noting that the Aravalli hills and ranges are too complex to be defined by a single terrain-based measurement. The committee is currently tasked with defining, mapping, protecting, and managing the Aravalli landscape.
