[amp_mcq option1=”Difficult terrain” option2=”Remote villages” option3=”Extreme weather” option4=”All of the above” correct=”option4″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: d) All of the above<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sikkim is a mountainous state in the eastern Himalayas. It is bordered by Bhutan to the north, China to the east, Nepal to the west, and West Bengal to the south. The state has a population of about 600,000 people and a land area of about 7,000 square kilometers.<\/p>\n

The terrain of Sikkim is very difficult. The state is home to the Himalayas, which are the highest mountain range in the world. The mountains make it difficult to build roads and power lines.<\/p>\n

Many of the villages in Sikkim are remote. They are located in the mountains and are difficult to access. This makes it difficult to provide electricity to these villages.<\/p>\n

The weather in Sikkim is extreme. The state experiences hot summers and cold winters. The extreme weather can damage power lines and make it difficult to generate electricity.<\/p>\n

All of these factors make it challenging to transmit and distribute electricity in Sikkim.<\/p>\n
