c) Shimla
d) Dehradun
Correct Answer: c) Shimla
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c) Shimla
Explanation:
The Temperate Forest Research Centre was set up in Shimla to address forestry issues of India’s temperate Himalayan region. It was later upgraded and renamed as the Himalayan Forest Research Institute (HFRI) under ICFRE. Hence, the correct city is Shimla, not Dehradun (FRI HQ), Ranchi, or Srinagar.
