What will be the impact on North India if the Aravalli range disappears?

The Aravalli range protects the northern Indian region. If the Aravalli hills were to disappear, the environment would suddenly deteriorate. The state that would face the most difficulty due to its removal is Rajasthan. Rajasthan is already a desert area, and if the Aravalli range disappears, the water problem will worsen significantly.

The removal of the Aravalli mountains will lead to the expansion of the desert, as the Aravalli is a natural barrier. The removal of the Aravalli will result in sand-laden winds, loss of soil moisture, and a decrease in agricultural productivity. Groundwater levels will fall, causing tube wells to dry up. Not only that, but the heat will increase, and heatwaves will become common.
Currently, the AQI in our country’s capital is the worst; if these mountains disappear, you cannot imagine how many problems the people living in Delhi will have to face. The removal of the Aravalli mountain range will cause dust from Rajasthan to reach Delhi directly, further increasing air pollution levels. This will lead to an explosion of diseases. The temperature will rise rapidly in summer.
