In May 2009, after months of media and public protests, supported by several environmental groups, the Supreme Court banned mining in a 448 km2 area across the Faridabad, Gurgaon and Mewat districts in Haryana. Previously reserved for national park lands, the change followed an earlier judgment in 1994 which allowed limited mining on the basis of the sustainable development principle, and under strict guidelines. The court ruled that these principles had been violated by local miners.[1][2]..
However, there are many illegal mines in Rajasthan,[citation needed] some of them operating at the edges of the Sariska Tiger Reserve.[3]
