Supreme Court rejects extension for Aravalli panel, sets November 30 deadline

The Supreme Court has rejected a request for extension from a high-powered committee tasked with evolving a uniform definition for the ecologically fragile Aravalli hills and range. The court has set November 30 as the final deadline for the committee to submit its report.

The panel is responsible for recommending measures to regulate mining in the Aravalli region, which spans multiple states and is considered environmentally sensitive. The committee's work is critical for establishing standardized guidelines for the fragile ecosystem.
