The Western Ghats held 53% of the total elephant population in that estimate. 4. The same estimate found that the Himalaya held 53% of the total elephant population. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is correct because the DNA-based SAIEE estimate gave India's elephant population as 22,446. Statement 2 is correct because Karnataka led with 6,013 elephants. Statement 3 is correct because the Western Ghats held 53% of the total population. Statement 4 is incorrect because the 53% share is attributed to the Western Ghats, not the Himalaya.

Question 4

Consider the following statements about vehicle, school and office measures under Stage-III as described in the CAQM press release of 9 January 2025:
1. NCR State Governments/GNCTD were to impose restrictions on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel LMVs in Delhi and the districts of Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar.
2. The same vehicle restriction was expressly extended to Alwar district in Rajasthan in that press release.

The CAQM press release lists restrictions on BS-III petrol and BS-IV diesel LMVs in Delhi plus Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar, and mandates hybrid classes up to Class V in those specified jurisdictions. Statement 2 is false because Alwar is not in that specific list.
