Read the below statements: Statement I: The 'Zoji La pass' serves as a very important link between the Kashmir Valley and the Ladakh region, cutting through the Great Himalayan Range. Statement II: The 'Shipki La pass' is located in Arunachal Pradesh and serves as a primary gateway for the river Brahmaputra to enter India from Tibet. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Only Statement I is correct
Zoji La is a high pass that cuts through the Great Himalayan Range and forms the vital road link between the Kashmir Valley and the Ladakh region, keeping it open (once cleared of snow) for much of the year.
This matches Statement I exactly, so Statement I is correct.
Shipki La, by contrast, is located in Himachal Pradesh, not Arunachal Pradesh, and it is the pass through which the Sutlej river - not the Brahmaputra - enters India from Tibet.
Statement II therefore contains two errors: it misplaces Shipki La in Arunachal Pradesh and wrongly links it to the Brahmaputra, so Statement II is incorrect.
For completeness, the Brahmaputra (called Tsangpo in Tibet) does enter India through Arunachal Pradesh, but it does so as a river valley, not via the Shipki La pass.
Since only the first statement is accurate, the answer is Only Statement I is correct.
