Cevap

The correct statements are that Kamarajar Port operates as a corporate entity under the Companies Act, and National Waterway-2 encompasses the Brahmaputra River stretch between Sadiya and Dhubri.
Kamarajar Port (Ennore) is India's only major corporate port created under the Companies Act. Furthermore, National Waterway-2 designates the 891 km inland navigation stretch of the Brahmaputra River between Sadiya and Dhubri.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the administrative structure of major Indian sea ports.
Kamarajar Port (Ennore) is structured as a corporatised entity under the Companies Act, unlike other major ports governed by traditional port authority trusts.
This administrative structure was adopted during its development to attract commercial management and investment flexibility.
2
Analyze the alignment and terminals of Dedicated Freight Corridors.
The Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor links Sahnewal near Ludhiana to Dankuni near Kolkata in West Bengal. Linking it to Marmagao Port in Goa is geographically incorrect.
Marmagao is on the western sea coast in Goa, whereas EDFC serves the heavy freight traffic of northern, central, and eastern India terminating near the eastern coast.
3
Examine National Waterways designations in Northeast India.
National Waterway-2 is officially designated along the Brahmaputra River from Sadiya to Dhubri over a length of 891 km.
It provides essential inland water transport for cargo and passengers across Assam and connects to international trade routes through Bangladesh.
4
Verify the geographical classification of Kolkata Port.
Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port is a riverine port located on the banks of the Hugli River, requiring active maintenance dredging and pilotage.
It is not a deep-water coastal ocean harbor on the Bay of Bengal coast.
