Explanation
- This is a pure map skill question; marks are awarded for correct location + correct label + correct symbol — one mark each for any three features.
- Bhakra Nangal — Sutlej River, Punjab–Himachal border. Tarapur — Maharashtra coast. Noida — Uttar Pradesh (NCR region). Haldia — West Bengal (river/sea port, also referenced as terminus of N.W. No.1 in the chapter).
- Practice pinpointing these on a blank map. Symbols must match convention (dam = double line/triangle, nuclear = circle with radiation lines, port = anchor, software park = dot/star).
- No written explanation is needed in the actual exam — only the marked map.
