What is documented here?

CGWB describes older alluvium as interbedded/interfingering sand, clay and kankar, locally hundreds of metres thick.

Can you collect here?

Geology/research context only; public specimen-collecting access is not established.

The cited source documents geology, geomorphology or sediment context, but does not establish a general public right to collect specimens.

Before visiting

A documented Delhi geological occurrence is not collecting permission. Much of the Ridge is reserved/protected forest, Asola-Bhatti is a wildlife sanctuary, biodiversity parks are conservation landscapes, and Yamuna/alluvial areas are urban or regulated land. Verify current land ownership, forest/wildlife status, floodplain/environment controls and mineral-removal permission before taking any rock, sand, gravel or other material.
