C
Surat and Kolkata respectively
D
Kandla and Paradwip respectively
Correct Answer
Kandla and Diamond Harbour respectively
Detailed Explanation
- It was expected that the country’s Independence will reverse the process, but the partition of the country snatched away two very important ports, i.e., Karachi port went to Pakistan and Chittagong port to the erstwhile east-Pakistan and now Bangladesh.
- To compensate the losses, many new ports, like the Kandla in the west and the Diamond Harbour near Kolkata on river Hugli in the east were developed.
- Over the years, they have continued to be important hubs for maritime trade and transportation. The development of these ports has contributed to India's economic growth and connectivity with various regions.
