[amp_mcq option1=”Development vs. Environmental protection” option2=”Inter-state border disputes” option3=”Land acquisition policies” option4=”Mining rights” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is: A) Development vs. Environmental protection.<\/p>\n
The Kudremukh Iron Ore Controversy was a major environmental controversy in India that began in the 1980s. The controversy centered on the mining of iron ore in the Kudremukh National Park, which is located in the Western Ghats mountain range in Karnataka state. The mining was seen as a threat to the environment and to the livelihoods of the people who lived in the area. The controversy led to a number of protests and legal challenges, and eventually the mining was stopped in 2006.<\/p>\n
The Kudremukh Iron Ore Controversy brought into focus the debate on development vs. environmental protection. The mining company argued that the mining was necessary for the economic development of the region. However, the environmental groups argued that the mining was destroying the environment and the livelihoods of the people who lived in the area. The controversy highlighted the need to balance the needs of development with the need to protect the environment.<\/p>\n
