Which river was given the status of a living creature for first time by the High Court of Uttarakhand ?

Yamuna
Ganga
Kali
Pindar

The correct answer is (b) Ganga.

The Ganga, also known as the Ganges, is a major river in northern India and northern Bangladesh. It is the longest river in India and the third-longest river in Asia. The river is sacred to Hindus and is considered to be a goddess.

In 2017, the High Court of Uttarakhand granted the Ganga the status of a living entity. This means that the river has the same rights as a human being. The court’s decision was made in response to the increasing pollution of the Ganga. The court ordered the government to take steps to clean up the river and to protect it from further pollution.

The other options are incorrect because they are not rivers. Yamuna is a river in northern India. Kali is a river in the Himalayas. Pindar is a river in the Kumaon Himalayas.
