However, a consortium of the organisations, named Aravalli Virasat Jan Abhiyan and the Bharat Seva Sansthan founded by former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Gandhian thinkers, have opted to have resolved, on the International Mountain Day today, for launching an all-out campaign demanding the recall of the Supreme Court verdict of November 20, 2025.
While the Aravalli Virasat Jan Abhiyan held a press conference to announce the resolve and express their extreme disappointment on the Supreme Court's for judgement which has put the 2 billion year old Aravalli range- spread across 4 states of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat into an existential crisis. The press conference was attended by Neelam Ahluwalia of the People for Aravallis ; Lakshmi and Babu Garasia of Bhakhar Bhitrot Vikas Manch Sirohi; Kailash Meena, Environment Activist, North Rajasthan ; Virender Mour, Youth Leader and Coordinator of Rajasthan Kisan Mazdoor Naujawan Sabha, Rajasthan and Kavita Srivastava, National President, People’s union for Civil Liberties (PUCL).
