Consider the following statements about transport, agriculture-based industry and minerals in India: A. Konkan Railway’s own route extends from Roha to Kanyakumari. B. Under PMGSY-I, the general minimum population threshold for eligible unconnected habitations in plain areas is 1,000 persons, according to the 2001 Census. C. Sugar mills are located near sugarcane-growing areas because cane is bulky and its sucrose content declines after harvesting and during transport. D. The Nellore belt in Andhra Pradesh is an important mica-producing area. Which statements are correct?
C and D only
C and D only are correct. Sugarcane’s bulk and declining sucrose content favour mills close to the crop, and Nellore is an important mica belt. A is false because Konkan Railway’s route runs from Roha to Thokur near Mangaluru. B is false because PMGSY-I’s general plain-area eligibility threshold is 500 persons under Census 2001; the early priority for larger habitations must not be confused with that threshold.
