Q. Tons River, recently seen in news, is the largest and most important tributary of which river?
Answer:
Yamuna
Notes: Two people drowned in the Tons River while bathing in UP's Ballia, the largest tributary of the Yamuna. Originating from Bandarpunch Mountain in Uttarakhand, it traverses through Garhwal and Himachal Pradesh. Spanning 200 km, it cuts through gorges and valleys, ending at the Yamuna near Kalsi. Despite being a tributary, Tons contributes more water than the Yamuna itself. Pabbar and Asan rivers are its main tributaries, enriching the culturally significant Tons Valley inhabited by indigenous tribes.
