Environmentalists write to Supreme Court committee about ‘inadequate’ public consultation on Aravallis
As the August 31 deadline for the committee approaches, conservationists have urged the panel to seek more time, broaden the consultation process, involve independent experts, listen to rural and adivasi communities and include knowledgeable local citizens in field visits
Environmentalists and activists have criticized the Supreme Court-appointed committee studying the Aravallis, alleging the lack of thorough scientific research, public input, and field investigations across the mountain range. The August 31 deadline for the committee to deliver its report looms as independent experts and conservationists have penned letters to the panel, expressing their apprehensions.
Pradip Krishen, an ecological restoration expert who has spent two decades working in the Aravalli landscapes across Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan, emphasized the committee's unique opportunity to undertake an exhaustive Environmental and Social Impact Study encompassing all 64 Aravalli districts. The committee's actions will shape the future of the Aravallis, making its assessments crucial.
