India Supreme Court sets Nov 30 deadline for Aravalli panel report on mining definition

India's Supreme Court refused an extension for the high-powered committee tasked with defining the ecologically fragile Aravalli hills and regulating mining, setting a November 30 deadline for its final report. The court's firm stance signals judicial pressure to expedite environmental governance in the region, though the committee's recommendations remain pending. This could impact mining operations and environmental policy in northern India.
