Q. According to the Indus Waters Treaty, the three eastern rivers are allocated to India. Which of the following is not one of them?
a) Jhelum
b) Ravi
c) Sutlej
d) More than one of the above
Correct Answer : a) Jhelum
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: a) Jhelum
Explanation:
– Under the Indus Waters Treaty (1960), the three eastern rivers—Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej—are allocated to India.
– The three western rivers—Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab—are allocated to Pakistan (with limited uses permitted to India).
– Among the options, Ravi and Sutlej are eastern rivers, while Jhelum is a western river.
– Therefore, Jhelum is not one of the eastern rivers allocated to India, and only one option fits, so (d) is incorrect.
