Debate With Arnab: Republic Questions SC Order Redefining Aravallis As Hills Above 100 Meters

Debate With Arnab: In this explosive edition of Debate With Arnab LIVE, Republic TV puts the spotlight on the Supreme Court’s recent order that redefines the Aravalli mountain range—recognizing only land formations above 100 meters as “hills.” This move could leave nearly 91% of the ancient Aravalli ecosystem unprotected, exposing it to unchecked mining and urbanisation.
