Q. Periyar River, recently seen in news, is the longest river in which state?
Answer:
Kerala
Notes: A recent mass fish kill devastated the Periyar River in Kerala, causing widespread destruction and outrage. The Periyar River, Kerala's longest, originates in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu and flows northward, passing through the Periyar National Park into the man-made Periyar Lake. It eventually joins the Vembanad Lake before reaching the Arabian Sea. The river, spanning 244 km, sustains a vast area and is vital for Kerala's economy, notably with the Idukki Dam, the state's largest hydroelectric project.
