Q. Which among the following is a riverine (Inland River) port?
Answer: Kolkata
Notes: The correct answer is Kandla. Kandla Port, located in Gujarat, India, is a riverine port situated on the Gulf of Kutch. It was developed as a tidal port and is one of the largest ports in India, primarily handling bulk cargo. Unlike Chennai and Kolkata, which are coastal ports, Kandla serves as an inland port due to its location along the river system. Kolkata, while a major port, is also a coastal port but has riverine characteristics due to its proximity to the Hooghly River.
