The team also inspected the Veedur dam and the construction of a manimandapam (memorial) at Vazhuthareddy for the 21 people who were killed in police firing during the struggle demanding reservation in 1987. The memorial is being constructed at a cost of ₹5.70 crore.
The Committee instructed officials to speed up work on the infrastructure projects and bring them to public use at the earliest.
The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
