GURUGRAM: Unchecked mining in the Aravallis, despite a Supreme Court ban, took a turn for the worse on Wednesday when a rockfall in Pichopa Kalan village of Charkhi Dadri district fell atop a parked vehicle and severely injured its driver, Subhash Singh, who is a resident of the village.
The incident, coming within a fortnight of a blast in Rava village on the Haryana-Rajasthan border, where the mining mafia allegedly detonated a hillock in the protected Aravalli range on December 17, caused widespread outrage among villagers. This is the fourth major mining-related incident within a month, raising serious questions about the administration's ability to curb rampant quarrying in the state.
