The correct answer is Loktak Lake, Manipur.

In November 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change constituted a four-member expert committee specifically for the conservation and management of Loktak Lake in Manipur. Loktak Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India and is known for its floating phumdis (heterogeneous mass of vegetation, soil, and organic matter).

Loktak Lake is a Ramsar Site (Wetland of International Importance) and is facing significant ecological challenges, including habitat degradation, pollution, and issues related to the phumdis and associated structures. The committee was tasked with suggesting measures for effective conservation and sustainable development of the lake and its surrounding areas.
