Q1. The Supreme Court has ordered the Rajasthan Government to shut 68 mines operating within a 1 km periphery of the critical tiger habitat of which tiger reserve?
Explanation
The official key links the Supreme Court order on closing 68 mines within a 1 km periphery of the critical tiger habitat to Sariska Tiger Reserve. Sariska, in Alwar district, has long faced conservation pressure from mining around protected areas. Dholpur-Karauli is a newer tiger reserve and is not the reserve named in this order. Ranthambore is a major tiger reserve, but the stated 68-mine closure context does not belong to it. Ramgarh Vishdhari is also a Rajasthan tiger reserve, yet it is not the one identified by the key.
