Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Monday welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision to put in abeyance its November 20 order on the new definition of the Aravalli Hills and Range, calling for permanent protection of the mountain range.
In a post on X, Thackeray described the stay as “a huge but temporary relief” and warned against misinformation suggesting that the Aravalli Range is now safe.
