Read the below statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Assertion (A): The Union Cabinet approved a MoU allowing India to withdraw 1.82 cusecs of water from the Feni River for Sabroom town in Tripura. Reason (R): Sabroom town already receives sufficient groundwater supply with low iron content. Mark the correct option:
A is true, but R is false
Assertion is true: India and Bangladesh signed an MoU in October 2019, approved by the Union Cabinet, allowing India to withdraw 1.82 cusecs of water from the Feni River for a drinking water supply scheme for Sabroom town in South Tripura.
Reason is false: the scheme was needed precisely because Sabroom lacks a safe drinking water source – its groundwater has a high iron content.
So the Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
Hence, A is true, but R is false.
