The Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC) raised objections against a proposed eco-tourism project in which of the following wildlife sanctuaries in May 2025?
Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary
In early May 2025 the Hynniewtrep Youth Council (HYC), a Meghalaya-based organisation, objected to a proposed eco-tourism project inside the Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary in Ri-Bhoi district. The HYC urged the Centre and the Wildlife authorities not to permit the project (which proposed tourist dwellings, a glass skywalk and water-sports facilities), arguing it would damage the fragile ecosystem that shelters species such as the clouded leopard and hoolock gibbon.
Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary lies in Meghalaya, the home region of the Hynniewtrep (Khasi-Jaintia) people, which is why this is the sanctuary in question.
The others are in different states and unrelated to the HYC's protest: Manas Wildlife Sanctuary is in Assam, while Namdapha and Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuaries are in Arunachal Pradesh. Hence the correct answer is Nongkhyllem Wildlife Sanctuary.
