Trilateral Highway connects Moreh in Manipur and Chiang Mai in Thailand via Myanmar. 3. Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor connects Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh with Kunming in China. How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct Answer: Option D
Statement 1 is incorrect. The East-West Corridor under the Golden Quadrilateral Project connects Silchar in Assam and Porbandar in Gujarat, not Dibrugarh and Surat.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The India-Myanmar-Thailand (IMT) Trilateral Highway connects Moreh (India) to Mae Sot (Thailand) via Myanmar, specifically linking Moreh - Bagan - Mae Sot.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Economic Corridor (BCIM) aims to connect Kunming (China) with Kolkata (India), passing through Myanmar and Bangladesh. It does not originate in Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh).
Therefore, none of the statements are correct.
