There is widespread misinformation being spread about the Aravalli mining order, so let’s put the verified facts on record. A clarification has been issued by the Press Information Bureau, based directly on the judgment of the Supreme Court of India. First, this Supreme Court order was not passed to... destroy the Aravallis, but to protect them. For years, multiple cases of illegal and unregulated mining were coming to the Court because different States were using different definitions of what counts as an Aravalli hill or range. Now the most important fact. The so-called 100-metre rule is not new. It was decided by a Rajasthan State Committee in 2002 and implemented in 2006. Under this rule, any landform rising 100 metres or more above surrounding land is treated as a hill, and mining is banned not just on the hilltop but also on its slopes, treating the entire hill as one ecological unit. The expert committee appointed by the Supreme Court found that Rajasthan was the only State with a clear, legally notified and scientific definition. Because of this, Gujarat, Haryana and the Delhi region agreed to adopt the same rule, along with stronger safeguards, so that one uniform standard applies across the entire Aravalli belt. Another major misinformation is that mining is now allowed below 100 metres. This is false. Many areas below 100 metres are still part of protected hills, connected ranges, wildlife corridors and eco-sensitive zones, where mining remains prohibited. For the first time, entire Aravalli ranges, meaning groups of nearby hills and the land between them, are being treated as one protected ecological system, so slopes and foothills cannot be mined separately. Finally, the Supreme Court has imposed a temporary stay on all new mining leases in the Aravalli region until a comprehensive Sustainable Mining Management Plan is prepared. Existing mines can continue only under strict environmental compliance. In short, the rule was old, the protection has been strengthened, and fresh mining has been paused, not expanded.show more

Decoding Aravallis' Controversy: Aravallis will not die because of the Supreme Court, they are already dying because of illegal mining. B/w 1975 and 2019, 8% of the Aravalli hills vanished due to illegal mining, and studies warn this could rise to 22% by 2059. 1/4th of Rajasthan’s Aravalli hills have already disappeared. These are documented facts. Not just that, Illegal mining has also taken human lives. In July 2022, DSP Surender Singh was killed on duty when a truck crushed him while he was investigating illegal stone mining in Nuh. This is the real cost of unregulated, mafia-driven mining! SC's latest order has not deregulated mining. It has frozen new leases, ordered scientific mapping, and tightened control to stop illegal mining. So, it's very important to understand the judgment, to protect the Aravallis. And always read a thing in entirety before you panic!

#SaveTheAravallis | The Aravalli Range is under serious threat after a Supreme Court ruling that limits its definition to hills rising 100 metres above the local terrain, potentially stripping protection from nearly 90% of the Aravallis across Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, and Haryana and leaving them exposed to mining, deforestation, and excavation. #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

#WATCH | Surat, Gujarat | On the Gyanvapi case, Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain says, "In the Gyanvapi case, the matter is subjudice in the Supreme Court. A 'Shivling' was found there on May 16, 2022, and the Allahabad HC ordered an ASI investigation. On May 19, 2023, the Supreme Court stayed that order. The case is going on at a slow pace in the trial court. The reason for this is that on 12 December 2024, the Supreme Court passed an order that no survey order will be passed in any case and no effective orders will be made in any trial, until this matter of the Place of Worship Act is decided. A huge obstacle has arisen due to this... The Muslim side does not have any proof, and the same is true in the Ram Mandir case, be it Gyanvapi or Mathura's Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi; in any case, they could not provide any proof except saying that they have been offering namaz there for the last few years... I want to clearly state that if you enter the premises of a temple and forcibly offer namaz, then the existence of the temple does not end, and the Supreme Court has also held this issue in the Ram Mandir case..."

He adds, "We stated in the Supreme Court that their own circular says if you want to keep a nominee from the central government, then do so, but keep a nominee from the state government as well. Randomise that as well... The Supreme Court noted that we were challenging the circular there, but we clarified that we are not challenging the circular anymore. We are saying that it should be implemented... Now we have hope. The Supreme Court said, and this is an order, that the EC will follow the circular issued by them both in letter and spirit...

This has been a trend that we’ve now seen for several years where the Supreme Court is systematically undermining Congress, and what that means is you have our least accountable branch of government undercutting our most accountable branch of government, and that’s a real recipe for entrenched minority rule and effectively oligarchy and so it’s important to understand this decision against that backdrop and as part of a broader power grab by the Supreme Court itself.” 😳

Nowadays, CM is asserting that one does not need to approach a court to detain someone by labeling them a 'doubtful citizen.'

Furthermore, the Assam government is repeatedly pressuring our courts and tribunals, pressuring them to declare people 'foreigners' at any cost, and is also pushing for a process to remove them once declared foreigners.

Shareholder Update - Understanding Recent News Coverage In this video, President & CEO, Garrett Ainsworth, addresses market speculation on the proposed lifting of the municipal veto for uranium processing and the start of an inquiry into mining of Alum Shale deposits, proposed by the Swedish Government on February 5th. Exploration and mining of uranium in Sweden was made legal on January 1, 2026, and that won't be affected by this proposal. This is not the first time a potential new municipal veto for Alum Shale extraction has been introduced. In 2020, an inquiry was carried out by the government to assess a possible ban on mining of Alum Shales. The results came back that mining of Alum Shales should not be banned, as it doesn't present any increased environmental risk compared to mining of other mineral deposits in Sweden. 🇨🇦 $DMX.v | 🇺🇸 $DMXCF | 🇸🇪$DMXSE SDB #Uranium #CriticalMinerals #DMX

The Supreme Court has ripped the mask off Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal: this is no democracy, this is political thuggery with state protection. Seven judicial officers were gheraoed for hours in Malda during voter-roll revision work; the officers’ vehicles were attacked with stone-pelting and sticks. The Supreme Court has now called it what it is: a “brazen attempt” to browbeat judges, a “calculated” and “well-planned” move to demoralise them, and proof of the “complete failure” of Bengal’s civil and police administration. CJI Surya Kant’s remark cut to the bone: “In your state, each one of you speaks political language… We have never seen such a polarised state.” That is not just a judicial rebuke. It is an X-ray of Mamata Banerjee’s Bengal, where everything is politicised, institutions are pressured, and even judges cannot do election-related duty without the street being weaponised against them. The Supreme Court has not treated this as some random local flare-up either. It has ordered central-force protection for judicial officers, directed the Election Commission to get the incident probed by an independent agency such as the CBI or NIA with a preliminary report directly to the Court, sought explanations from top state officials, and tightened access at hearing sites so mobs cannot overwhelm the process again. Why is all this happening in Bengal? Because TMC knows 2026 is not unfolding on the old script. Once a ruling party starts sensing slippage, voter-list scrutiny becomes dangerous to its ecosystem, officials become targets, and street intimidation becomes a substitute for political confidence. This is not governance. This is pre-election desperation. That is why the Supreme Court’s words matter so much. The Court has effectively said this was not a spontaneous outburst but a calculated assault on the electoral process and on judicial authority itself. This is the real state of Mamata’s West Bengal: when defeat looms, law and order becomes negotiable, institutions are left exposed, and the street is used as political muscle. The Supreme Court has now seen through it. The country should too. And of course, the state of West Bengal.

One could argue that this High-Level Committee to examine Union-State Relations is the sixth attempt--there have been similar efforts twice in the 1960s, once in the 1980s, and twice in the 2000s. It is more urgent now than ever before because we are facing unprecedented attacks on States' Rights. Therefore, this Committee is not just for the people of Tamil Nadu or the state itself; it is meant for all the States of India and for all the people of India. In the light of the Supreme Court judgment of April 8, 2025, the purpose of this Committee is to propose a better working model moving forward. . . — I addressed the press at the TN Secretariat on the significance and scope of the High-Level Committee announced by our Hon’ble Chief Minister Thiru M.K.Stalin under Rule 110

Just now, the Supreme Court has put a stay on the definition of Aravalli Hills. So, that was one disaster created by the Modi government, which we have fortunately averted for now. But there is another major environmental disaster being created by the Modi government in the Great Nicobar Island, which is part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. For a year now, I have been writing letters to the Environment Minister and raised this issue several times in Parliament, stating that an airport is going to be built there, a seaport is going to be constructed, and an ecotourism resort is going to be established. They want to build all of this. This is a major environmental disaster. Millions of acres of forest will be cut down. Not one lakh, not two lakh, not three lakh, but millions of trees will be cut down. There will be immense damage to biodiversity. The local communities, the tribal people there, will be displaced. The Gram Sabha (village council) has already said that they do not want this, and yet the Modi government is forcibly pushing ahead with this Great Nicobar infrastructure project..."

VIDEO | Activist and psephologist Yogendra Yadav, who was a litigant in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) case before the Supreme Court, said, "As one of the litigants, I have reasons to be disappointed, but I am shocked. Not shocked only because I was litigant and the judgment did not go in my favor. That can happen. Not shocked because I had expected a very different judgment. For the last few months, the course, the very strange course that this particular case had taken, made it absolutely clear which way things were going. I'm shocked that the Supreme Court of this country has allowed the fundamental democratic principle to be overturned. In a democracy, voters choose the government. The government cannot choose the voters. And the net effect of what the Supreme Court has done today is that now BJP shall decide who can be a voter in this country and who cannot. Technically, you might say Election Commission will decide. But because the same Supreme Court has done absolutely nothing to ensure that the Election Commission's own appointment is a non-partisan way, and given the manner in which the Election Commission behaves these days, it is absolutely true that now BJP decides who will be the voter, and on the basis of their votes, BJP will say, "We have one popular mandate." This is a complete overturning of the fundamental principle of universal adult franchise...I'm astonished that the Supreme Court of India has put its seal of approval on fundamental overturning of democratic principles."

#WATCH | Delhi: On the NCERT book with the controversial judiciary chapter row, former Director of NCERT, J.S. Rajput says, "...The entire country respects the Supreme Court but I would also like to say that NCERT is an institution whose pupils occupy most of the big positions. NCERT imparted knowledge to them and charted their future...In this entire matter, I felt that the reputation of NCERT has suffered a blow. The words used by the Supreme Court - conspiracy, scandalous were not needed at all. If there were differences between the two institutions, they could have been called in and spoken with...This could have been rectified. NCERT amends its books every year as per the suggestions that come in...We are all humans and to err is human. Supreme Court too makes mistakes. When a person is acquitted after 15 years and it is said that they are innocent, imagine what would that individual feel. But nobody is taken to task for the incorrect judgment. So, why should this happen just with NCERT? What was the reason for such harshness?...It pains me to hear the things that were said...In this matter, NCERT's reputation has suffered a blot and the matter could have been resolved even without it." He also says, "It (corruption) should indeed be written about...But such a harsh reaction by the judiciary was not required..."
