Aravalli Hills Are Disappearing Silently

“Did you know one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world is disappearing silently?”

“These are the Aravalli Hills — older than the Himalayas, stretching across Gujarat,

Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. They are not just mountains… they

are India’s natural shield.” “Aravallis stop the Thar Desert from expanding,

support groundwater recharge, regulate climate, and are home to thousands of plant

and animal species.” “But today, the Aravallis are under threat. Illegal mining,

deforestation, construction, and stone cutting are slowly destroying them.

In many areas, hills are being flattened for roads, real estate, and industries.”
