"Brutal Destruction of heritage hills in Braj - the

Land of Lord Krishna" Petition

by Raghav Mittal

 

 

Kindly take a look at the following petition:

 

The petition is to draw the attention of the Supreme

Court of India towards the brutal destruction of

heritage hills in the Braj region which spans across

the districts of Mathura (UP), Bharatpur (Rajasthan)

and Faridabad (Haryana). These hills have a

historicity of more than 5000 years. Rampant mining is

going on in Braj region violating the guidelines of

the Rajasthan High Court. All this is causing havoc to

the ecological balance of the region. A substantial

part of the regional wildlife along with the flora and

fauna has already been destroyed. This calls for an

urgent intervention.

 

These hills have been associated with the numerous

pastimes of Lord Krishna, the propounder of Bhagvad

Gita, the world renowned treatise on philosophy. They

bear many historic sites which are being blown off by

using dynamite.

 

We understand that in a report the Archaeological

Survey of India has recommended a complete ban on

mining in Braj area. It is significant that the

emotional and religious sentiments of millions of

Vaishnavite Hindus have been attached to these hills

for ages. Millions come to circumambulate these holy

hills every year and are deeply hurt to see the

devastation of their centres of devotion.

 

These hills offer a tremendous potential for revenue

generation through eco-tourism and religious tourism

if they are protected and developed on these lines.

They fall under the Taj Trapezium Zone and Golden

Triangle of Delhi, Jaipur & Agra.

 

The petition requests the Supreme Court intervene in

the matter, and take all possible measures to restore

the natural grandeur of Braj.
