New Delhi: Reacting to TOI reports about the depleting water table in Faridabad and the consequent drying up of lakes, the Pali Mohabbatabad Stone Crusher Owners
Faridabad: If still more evidence was required, here it is. A large lake, that till two years ago brimmed with water, has also dried up completely in Dhauj, just 3km from the Sirohi and Khori Jamalpur mines, ramming home yet again the correlation between mining in the Aravalis and the drought in the area.
New Delhi: The auction notice for stone quarrying in Khori Jamalpur and Sirohi in Faridabad claims that no mining will be allowed in the prohibited zones (essentially forest areas) but an abrupt turnaround by the administration in 2005 might have already allowed mining in some of these zones where it will now continue.

New Delhi: Disregarding the fact that the Punjab and Haryana High Court is yet to determine whether the mining lease of Sirohi and Khori Jamalpur in Faridabad district should be extended or not, the Haryana government is going ahead with their auction for two more years.
