Question

Ujh river, which was recently making news, is a tributary of which of these rivers?

• A. Indus
• B. Sutlej
• C. Ganga
• D. Ravi

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Ravi

Currently, India is working to exercise its rights to stop excess water flowing to Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 to irrigate its own lands. In this context, India is working on a plan to divert the waters of Ujh river, which is one of the main tributaries of Ravi river that flows into Pakistan. This is also of strategic importance to India—control over river water flow acts as a force multiplier during times of aggression.
