Baglihar Dam is constructed on which river?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Chenab. 

The Baglihar Dam is constructed on the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir, India. It is a hydroelectric power project aimed at generating electricity and managing water resources.

Other Options:

  1. Sutlej – The Bhakra Nangal Dam is built on the Sutlej, not the Baglihar Dam.

  2. Indus – Major dams on the Indus include the Tarbela Dam (Pakistan), but not the Baglihar.

  3. Ravi – The Ranjit Sagar Dam is built on the Ravi, not the Baglihar.

Thus, the correct answer is Chenab, as the Baglihar Dam is specifically located on this river, which is a major tributary of the Indus.
