The protest comes amid rising concerns that the sanctioned towers—each 10 storeys high with a three-level basement—violate environmental norms and Master Plan guidelines governing ridge areas. According to the Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA), the construction approval overlooks the ecological significance of the ridge and the risks posed by large-scale excavation on the fragile Aravalli landscape.
