Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Options
1 and 2
2 and 3
1 only
3 only
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.
