[amp_mcq option1=”Expand Sikkim’s rail connectivity” option2=”Improve road networks in border areas” option3=”Build a new airport” option4=”Boost hydropower generation capacity” correct=”option1″]
The correct answer is: a) Expand Sikkim’s rail connectivity.
The Sevoke-Rangpo Rail Link project is a proposed railway line that will connect Sevoke in West Bengal to Rangpo in Sikkim. The project is being undertaken by the Indian Railways and is expected to be completed by 2023. The rail link will provide a much-needed boost to Sikkim’s economy and will also improve connectivity between the state and the rest of India.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) Improve road networks in border areas is incorrect because the Sevoke-Rangpo Rail Link project is a railway project, not a road project.
- Option c) Build a new airport is incorrect because the Sevoke-Rangpo Rail Link project is a railway project, not an airport project.
- Option d) Boost hydropower generation capacity is incorrect because the Sevoke-Rangpo Rail Link project is a railway project, not a hydropower project.
