The question asks which of the listed rivers flow through Arunachal Pradesh. Let’s examine each river:
1. Barak: The Barak River is a major river in Northeast India. It originates in Manipur and flows through Nagaland and Assam in India before entering Bangladesh, where it merges with the Surma and Kushiyara rivers. It does not flow through Arunachal Pradesh.
2. Lohit: The Lohit River is a tributary of the Brahmaputra River. It originates in Tibet and flows through Arunachal Pradesh (in the eastern part, forming the easternmost part of the Brahmaputra basin in India) before joining the Brahmaputra in Assam. It flows through Arunachal Pradesh.
3. Subansiri: The Subansiri River is another major tributary of the Brahmaputra. It also originates in Tibet and flows through Arunachal Pradesh (in the central part) before joining the Brahmaputra in Assam. It flows through Arunachal Pradesh.
– The Lohit and Subansiri rivers are tributaries of the Brahmaputra that flow through Arunachal Pradesh.
– The Barak River flows through Manipur, Nagaland, and Assam before entering Bangladesh.
Arunachal Pradesh is known as the “land of the dawn-lit mountains” and has numerous rivers and tributaries, many originating from the Himalayas. The Brahmaputra itself enters India in Arunachal Pradesh (where it is known as Siang) before being joined by tributaries like Lohit and Dibang and then flowing into Assam.
