Answer: Uttarakhand
Notes: Four teenagers recently drowned while bathing in the Sharda River, highlighting the need for public safety near rivers. The Sharda River is a significant river in northern India and western Nepal. It originates as the Kali River in Uttarakhand, on the eastern slopes of the Nanda Devi massif in the Great Himalayas. The Sharda River flows generally south-southwest, forming the border between Uttarakhand state (India) and Nepal for a significant stretch. It enters the Indo-Gangetic Plain at Barmdeo Mandi in Nepal and is called the Sharda River after the Sharda Barrage.
