Question

For what reasons is the construction of huge dams opposed?
1. They are not cost effective
2. No support in producing hydroelectricity
3. Lack of manual labour
4. Large scale displacement of peasants and tribals

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Large scale displacement of peasants and tribals

The Correct Answer is Large scale displacement of peasants and tribals.

 

• The construction of huge dams are opposed due to the following reasons:
  • The construction of large dams leads to the displacement of people from that place. Hence Option 4 is Correct.
  • The construction leads to the submergence of flora and fauna.

 

• Even if the initial cost is high, yet it is not the major reason to oppose the construction of dams.
• Option 2 and 3 seem irrelevant for the opposition to the construction of large dams.
