UP Village Cut Off by Rivers on CM's Relocation Plan After Boat Tragedy

सही उत्तर: B

Statement 1 is correct as per the news summary, stating Bhamrauli is almost entirely cut off by rivers. Statement 3 is also correct, as the summary explicitly mentions the decision 'underscores the challenges faced by communities in geographically isolated areas, particularly concerning basic infrastructure, connectivity, and disaster preparedness' and aims to 'ensure the safety and well-being of its citizens'. Statement 2 is incorrect. While the current plan is significant, it is highly unlikely to be the 'first instance' of a state government initiating comprehensive resettlement for a river-isolated community in a large state like Uttar Pradesh, which has a long history of dealing with riverine populations and flood-related displacements. Such a strong claim would require specific historical evidence, which is not provided and generally not true for states with extensive river systems.

सही उत्तर: B

Statement 1 is correct. The NDMA is indeed chaired by the Prime Minister and the SDMA by the Chief Minister, as per the Disaster Management Act, 2005. Statement 2 is correct. The LARR Act, 2013, requires a Social Impact Assessment (SIA) to be conducted for all land acquisitions, which would include land acquired for resettlement purposes, even if triggered by a disaster. Statement 3 is incorrect. The term 'Climate Refugees' or 'Environmental Refugees' is not formally recognized under the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol. These instruments primarily cover individuals fleeing persecution. While there is growing advocacy for international legal frameworks for climate-induced displacement, no such formal recognition exists yet.

सही उत्तर: D

All four statements correctly describe common challenges associated with the relocation of communities. 1. Displaced communities often lose access to their traditional means of livelihood (e.g., farming, fishing) and experience significant disruption to their social networks and cultural practices. 2. Finding suitable, uncontested land for resettlement is a major hurdle, and ensuring fair and timely compensation is often a complex and contentious issue. 3. New settlements can place additional strain on the natural resources (water, forests, land) and infrastructure of the existing host communities. 4. People often have deep emotional, cultural, and spiritual ties to their ancestral lands, leading to strong resistance against relocation, even in the face of danger.
