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 ?
A
1 and 2
B
2 and 3
C
1 only
D
3 only
Correct answer
Explanation
Maitri Setu over the Feni river links Sabroom in Tripura (India) with Ramgarh in Bangladesh. The statement swaps the two towns, so it is wrong. The Jhulaghat suspension bridge over the Mahakali in Pithoragarh links India with Nepal, not Myanmar. The Mechi bridge connects the Panitanki bypass in West Bengal with Kakarvitta in Nepal, so only statement 3 is correct.
