Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) Border trade.
Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) are facilities established at the international borders of India to facilitate trade and movement of people between India and its neighboring countries. They are jointly managed by the Central and State Governments and are equipped with modern infrastructure and facilities to handle both passenger and cargo traffic.
Meghalaya has designated two ICPs, one at Dawki in East Khasi Hills district and the other at Balat in West Jaintia Hills district. These ICPs are expected to boost trade and commerce between Meghalaya and Bangladesh. They will also help to promote tourism in the state.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because ICPs are not designed to facilitate domestic tourism.
- Option c) is incorrect because ICPs are not designed to control migration.
- Option d) is incorrect because ICPs are not designed to operate railways.
