Cong takes dig at BJP's 'Alwar double engine' over plan to 'redraw'€™ Sariska reserve's boundary

NEW DELHI: (Jun 29) The Congress on Sunday attacked the Centre and Rajasthan governments over the reported plan to redraw the boundaries of the Sariska Tiger Reserve for the reactivation of over 50 mining operations, saying the move would be "ecologically devastating".

The opposition party also said that with the Rajasthan and Union environment ministers both being from Alwar, this "double engine" cannot be supporting such a move.

Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh shared on X a media report which claimed that a plan to redraw the boundaries of Rajasthan's Sariska Tiger Reserve is inching closer to approval, paving the way for the reactivation of over 50 mining operations that the Supreme Court had previously ordered shut.
