Question

Consider the following statements about river bridges connecting India with neighbouring countries:

1'Maitri Setu', built over Feni river, connects Ramgarh in India with Sabroom in Bangladesh.
2Jhulaghat suspension bridge connects India with Myanmar.
3Mechi bridge and its approaches connect Panitanki Bypass in India with Kakarvitta in Nepal .

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Options

a

1 and 2

b

2 and 3

c

1 only

d

3 only

Answer

Explanation

Only statement 3 is correct. The Mechi River bridge connects Panitanki on the Indian side directly to Kakarvitta in Nepal, serving as a key trade corridor under the Asian Highway project. Statement 1 is incorrect because while the Maitri Setu spans the Feni River to link India and Bangladesh, it connects Sabroom in Tripura (India) with Ramgarh in Bangladesh, reversing the locations in the prompt. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Jhulaghat suspension bridge crosses the Kali River to connect Uttarakhand (India) with Nepal, not Myanmar.

The Mechi River bridge serves as a border transit point between India and Nepal, while the Maitri Setu connects Sabroom in India with Ramgarh in Bangladesh, and Jhulaghat links to Nepal.
