TOI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has come to the rescue of nature conservation zones in NCR such as Aravalis, riverbeds and major water bodies, which have become the target for commercial exploitation in the name of allowing tourism activities. Environmental activists have been opposing the dilution in norms which may pave way for commercial tourism at large scale in Aravalis and other such areas. Allowing tourism, which includes commercial activities and that too beyond 0.5% of the total area under conservation zone, wont just harm the natural habitat but will also destroy the huge natural groundwater recharge zone in Aravalis that is crucial for Delhi and its neighbouring districts.
