Aravalli row: Yadav, Ramesh trade charges over mining and forest data
A heated debate erupted between the Congress and the Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav over the redefinition of the Aravalli hills. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh accused the government of jeopardizing the protection of the Aravallis, citing FSI data that indicated most hills are below 100 meters in height. Yadav countered by denying any such study and accusing Ramesh of spreading misinformation. The Ministry of Environment and Forests subsequently issued directions to states prohibiting new mining leases within the Aravallis.
