flooding, consider the following statements:
1. Originating in the Lushai Hills, it acts as a natural fluid geographical boundary between India and
Myanmar before emptying into the Bay of Bengal.
2. The lower stretches of this river, internationally known as the Karnaphuli, serve as a vital navigational
channel for the Port of Chattogram, granting it high strategic significance under India's Act East Policy.
3. The Kaptai Dam, built across this river to support hydropower generation and flow regulation, is
geographically located within the Indian state of Mizoram.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 and 2 only
(b) 2 only
(c) 1 and 3 only (d) 1, 2, and 3
Answer: (b) 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect: The Khawthlangtuipui River originates in the Lushai Hills of Mizoram, but it acts
as a natural boundary between India and Bangladesh (near Tlabung), not Myanmar.
Statement 2 is correct: Downstream in Bangladesh, it is known as the Karnaphuli River. It empties into
the Bay of Bengal and serves as the primary navigational channel for the Port of Chattogram
(Chittagong), which is crucial for providing landlocked Northeast India (especially Mizoram) with shorter
access to global maritime trade routes under the Act East Policy.
Statement 3 is Incorrect: The Kaptai Dam and the resulting Kaptai Lake are indeed located on this river,
but they are situated in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, not within the Indian state of Mizoram.
