The announcement has prompted environmentalists to ask whether the provisions of the National Conservation Zone (NCZ) will not be applicable to Aravalli areas in Faridabad.
A Haryana government committee has advised officials to identify the areas under the Aravallis on the basis of Centre's 1992 notification, which only covers old Gurgaon district areas. The announcement has prompted environmentalists to ask whether the provisions of the National Conservation Zone (NCZ) will not be applicable to Aravalli areas in Faridabad. The revenue records only identify "gair mumkin pahar" (hilly areas which are uncultivable) while making no mention of ''Aravalli'', said the committee. The committee, in a recent meeting, has advised the officials concerned that on the basis of a 1992 notification of the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), the areas under the Aravallis should be identified.More Related News
