What is the main criticism by the Congress party regarding the Government's new definition of the Aravalli Range?
It excludes ecologically significant low-elevation areasThe Congress party, through Jairam Ramesh, criticized the Union Government’s revised definition of the Aravalli Range, which requires a hill to be at least 100 meters above local terrain. Critics argue this excludes vital ecological components like foothills, slopes, and groundwater recharge zones, even if they are under 100 meters in relative height. The new definition has been opposed by the Forest Survey of India, the Supreme Court’s Central Empowered Committee, and the Court’s amicus curiae. Congress claims this redefinition undermines environmental safeguards despite government claims that over 90% of the Aravallis remain protected.

He demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry, arguing that a state-level Special Investigation Team (SIT) would be insufficient. Chandrasekhar alleged a political conspiracy involving both UDF and LDF governments, claiming the looting began under Congress-UDF and intensified under CPI(M)-LDF rule. He criticized Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan for downplaying the issue as a 'slip-up' and vowed continued agitation until justice is delivered to Ayyappa devotees.

Turkish recovery teams intensified efforts on Wednesday to locate the flight recorders despite adverse weather.
