The Government has requested the Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling allowing states to tax mineral extraction, citing potential economic strain and undue burden on citizens. It argues for a uniform national system of mineral levies to ensure sustained economic growth and harmonized pricing. The plea highlights the impact on industrial growth and national development.
The Supreme Court allowed desilting of Rajasthan’s Bisalpur Dam to address severe water shortages, overriding the NGT’s ban until July. The Rajasthan government stressed the dam’s vital role in supplying water to Jaipur, Ajmer, and Tonk. The decision aims to mitigate the urgent water crisis in these districts, affecting around 3.5 million people.
