Haryana News: Slogans of 'Save Aravalli, Save the Country' echo in Gurugram, protests over the existence of the mountain range:

News Topical, Digital Desk : A new definition of the Aravalli Hills, one of the country's oldest mountain ranges, has sparked political and social controversy. A strong protest erupted in Gurugram, Haryana, demanding the existence of the Aravalli Hills. The protest took place outside the residence of Rao Narbir Singh, a cabinet minister in the Haryana government, where a large number of people arrived carrying banners and posters.

Protests have intensified at the grassroots level against the new definition of the Aravalli range. Protesters say the Supreme Court's ruling regarding Aravalli ranges below 100 meters in height poses a threat to the Aravalli mountain range. This ruling is fueling widespread public outrage.

Demand to declare Aravalli completely safe

Environmentalists and social organizations from various parts of Delhi-NCR demanded the government declare the Aravalli Range completely protected. Slogans such as "Save the Aravalli, Save the Country," and "Stop Messing with Nature" were raised during the protest.

Demand for taking concrete steps to save Aravali

Protesters allege that ongoing construction and mining in the Aravalli region is causing serious environmental damage, leading to falling water levels and increasing pollution. They demanded the government take concrete and strict measures to protect the Aravalli region. Police remained deployed at the scene, and the situation remained largely peaceful. Protesters warned that if immediate action is not taken to protect the Aravalli region, they will intensify their protests.

In fact, on November 20, 2025, the Supreme Court approved the recommendations of a committee formed under the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change. According to news agency PTI, under this so-called new definition, only landforms with a height of at least 100 meters will be included in the Aravalli Hills. Opposition to this has now intensified, sparking political and social controversy.
