The Yatra will begin in Gujarat and pass through Rajasthan and Haryana before concluding in Delhi on January 20.
Indian Youth Congress (IYC) president Uday Bhanu Chib told reporters that the government sent a proposal to the Supreme Court that mountains less than 100 metres high should not be considered as part of the Aravalli range.
Previously, there was a Supreme Court committee that monitored mining in the Aravallis, but the Modi government disbanded it, and this proposal was sent by the Ministry of Environment, Mr. Chib claimed.
