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. 2. Jhulaghat suspension bridge connects India with Myanmar. 3. Mechi bridge and its approaches connect Panitanki Bypass in India with Kakarvitta in Nepal. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

  1. A.1 and 2
  2. B.2 and 3
  3. C.1 only
  4. D.3 only✓ Correct

Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: Maitri Setu is built over the Feni river but connects Sabroom in India (Tripura) with Ramgarh in Bangladesh — the locations are reversed in the statement. Statement 2 is incorrect: Jhulaghat suspension bridge connects India (Pithoragarh, Uttarakhand) with Nepal, not Myanmar — it crosses the Kali (Mahakali) river. Statement 3 is correct: The Mechi bridge over the Mechi river, along with its approaches, connects Panitanki Bypass on the Indian side with Kakarvitta in Nepal, facilitating cross-border trade and transit. Hence, only statement 3 is correct.
