I don't think it's fair to put the blame on someone. Rather, as citizens of a democracy, we should learn how to use it for the betterment of the future. It's our responsibility not to let these kinds of bad decisions make their way to implementation.
The new definition of the Aravalli hills by the Modi government is nothing less than dropping a nuclear bomb on our own people.
The Aravallis are among the oldest mountain ranges in the world and cannot be recreated once destroyed. Illegal mining permanently flatten these hills, causing damage that no policy or technology can reverse.
The Aravalli range acts as a natural wall between the Thar Desert and the fertile plains of North India. It blocks hot desert winds and dust storms from entering regions like Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, and western Uttar Pradesh. If the Aravallis are destroyed, desert dust will move freely into these areas, making air toxic permanent.
Aravalli forests hold the soil together and retain moisture in the land. This prevents fertile regions from slowly turning into desert. When these hills are mined or forests cleared, the land dries up and becomes barren, allowing Rajasthan-like desert conditions to spread eastwards into North India.
The Aravallis trap this dust and reduce dangerous particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). Without them, AQI levels remain in the severe category for long periods, making outdoor life unsafe and causing serious health problems, especially for children and the elderly.
The Aravallis recharge groundwater and support seasonal rivers and streams that feed the Yamuna basin. Their destruction leads to falling water tables, drying borewells, and increasing dependence on water tankers. Cities like Delhi, Gurugram, and Jaipur already face water stress, which will worsen dramatically.
Forests and hills in the Aravallis help regulate temperature, reduce heatwaves, and support local rainfall. When they disappear, temperatures rise sharply, heatwaves last longer, and monsoon patterns become erratic. This pushes North India toward extreme and dangerous climate conditions.
If the Aravallis are lost, North India will face toxic air, water scarcity, extreme heat, failing agriculture, and recurring health emergencies. This will eventually force people to migrate, turning a slow environmental collapse into a human crisis.

@striver_79@striver_79 i am a user of @takeUforward_ plus, i have a suggestion for improvement. When we are submitting the solution can we give a title to the submission? That will help us classify the brute/better/optimal solution in the submission page.
**Rookie Mistake. But Thatβs How You Learn.
Iβve been building a Git clone in Python recently (`mygit`) to understand Git internals better.
And⦠I made a classic mistake.
I implemented `mygit status` before `mygit add`.
Now i am working on `add`, so that `status` finally feels useful β it can check:
- Which files are staged
- Which are modified but not staged
- Which are untracked
Just like real Git (but way jankier behind the scenes).
I have created a funcion to replicate the git init command. Now i have figure out the rest of it. For now you can check the code in my github page https://t.co/T53DugIR45.
I have added my research in the https://t.co/lEVNW43WaI file, you can check that out too.
Since I had decided on creating a version control like GIT using python, i had to understand the working of it. Sure having AI like gemini, chat gpt, claude etc. help a lot, but there is a lot more to GIT. Coding it is turning out to be very good learning.
Is it only me or someone else thinks that @sama just picked up the anime trend to get a good data set ethically while making huge profits?
Just a thought π«
