Disaster for India’s National Capital Region
Millions of people in Delhi–NCR may soon be left without their natural shield against dust, heat and pollution. A new rule introducing a 100-metre height cut-off has put almost 90% of the Aravalli hills at risk, simply because most of these ridges are naturally low in height. But these so-called “low” Aravallis are the onesContinue reading “Disaster for India’s National Capital Region”
