Q. Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary, recently seen in the news, is located in which state?
Answer:
Assam
Notes: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) demands Assam's Chief Secretary to identify officers responsible for allowing construction activities in Sonai Rupai Wildlife Sanctuary. Established in 1998, the sanctuary lies in Assam's Sonitpur district, adjacent to the Great Himalayan Range. Its climate is subtropical, prone to heavy rains and flooding from rivers like Burhi Dihing and Namchang. NGT seeks accountability for jeopardizing this protected habitat.
