Students From Schools Across the NCR Join The Call To Save Aravalis in the Draft Regional Plan 2041
Over a hundred youngsters from different schools in Delhi-NCR joined the movement to defend Aravali on Tuesday, as concerned people and environmentalists continued to demonstrate against the NCR Draft Plan 2041 plan.
They demonstrated on Tuesday in front of the Haryana Bhawan in Delhi and demanded that the draught plan be dropped and that Aravalis be safeguarded for the future.
Call from students to rescue Aravali
“Only around 3% of our land is now covered with trees. And it will be virtually nil if we take out Aravali. We must act to safeguard Aravali since doing so would enhance our ecology and biodiversity and let us to breathe cleaner air “According to Avyan, a Class VI student at Scottish High International School in Gurugram.
It concerns our future.
Another student who participated in the demonstration said that since their lives would be the most impacted, the younger generation is championing the cause of Aravali.
“Youth movements, in my opinion, will have a greater influence since we are the nation’s future. After a few years, we will be the ones continuing our country’s development. That is why I believe our views are more important than those of others. Nobody will worry about our future more than we do. Our health would be seriously jeopardised if Delhi-forest NCR’s cover is not expanded “The Shri Ram School pupil Ishaan said to Indiatimes.
The lungs of Delhi-NCR are Aravali.
If Aravali is destroyed, more than just the forest cover would be impacted. Negative effects will also be felt by NCR’s water table and air quality. It may also hasten the region’s desertification.
“Particularly in the NCR area, Aravali is essential. In the winter, it helps keep the level of the groundwater stable and lowers air pollution. Desertification is a threat if Aravali is lost. We must do all in our power to preserve Aravali since it serves as the NCR’s equivalent of its lungs “Gurgaon said that Debangana and Manasi are two Pathways School pupils.
“Our source for vegetation and wildlife is the Aravali. Not only for ourselves, but also for the nearby plants and animals. Many people and animals are being harmed by illegal mining, therefore we must try to preserve our environment since it is also part of our legacy “Another student added Riya Sharma.
Aravali’s significance
One of the planet’s oldest geological formations, the Aravali Range crosses Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat. It is a vast reservoir for wildlife and minerals.
The Delhi-NCR region’s last green space is also under threat from changes to the sensitive ecology, according to experts and environmentalists.
The battle to rescue Aravali
However, it has been losing land over time and is now under more and more danger from unauthorised mining and construction.
The governments of Haryana have made repeated efforts throughout the years to modify the Aravalis’ status so that they are available for real estate development.
This is true even though Haryana has one of the lowest forest cover percentages of any Indian state.
Environmentalists who had been fighting to protect the Aravalis for years had previously blocked many efforts, including the revision to the Punjab Land Preservation Act (PLPA) that would have opened it up for development activity in the environmentally sensitive zone.
Regional Plan 2041 Draft
However, the Draft Regional Plan-2041, which was adopted by the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) in December, poses what is likely the largest danger yet to Aravalis.
The Aravalis in the “natural” zone is not mentioned in the NCR Draft Plan 2041.
Objections to the Draft Regional Plan-2041
The NCR Regional Plan-2021, put into effect in 2005, protects the Aravali range in Delhi, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Experts warn that the current draught plan may potentially leave a significant chunk of the range vulnerable.
The word “natural zone” is now used in the 2041 edition of the plan to describe physical characteristics including mountains, hills, rivers, water bodies, and forests that must be declared for protection by federal or state legislation and must be noted as such in property records.
Aravali will be lost by 70%.
With this upgrade, it limits conservation to characteristics that are both (a) recognised in revenue records and (b) notified under state or federal laws. Additionally, according to the draught plan, a waterbody may only be regarded to be in the “natural zone” if it was “formed by the activity of nature.”
“If the plan is carried out, it would result in the destruction of more than 70% of the Aravalis and other significant natural ecosystems in the NCR. This proposal would destroy rivulets and water recharge areas in addition to the Aravalis. It cannot be carried out in its present form, according to the Aravalli Bachao Trust. Over a hundred youngsters from different schools in Delhi-NCR joined the movement to defend Aravali on Tuesday, as concerned people and environmentalists continued to demonstrate against the NCR Draft Plan 2041 plan.
