Discussion
Consider the following statements regarding National Parks :
(a) No alternation of the boundaries of a National Park shall be made except on a resolution passed by the State Legislature.
(b) No person shall exploit or destroy natural habitats from National Park.
(c) No grazing of any cattle shall be permitted inside the National Park.
(d) Under Section 35(1), the State Government may declare any area as a National Park with the importance of its ecological, faunal and floral association for the purpose of protecting wildlife.
Which statement/statements is/are true?
Answer: D
All four statements are true, so the answer is (a), (b), (c) and (d).
They restate Section 35 of the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972:
- (a) Section 35(5): the boundaries of a National Park cannot be altered except on a resolution of the State Legislature (now also on the recommendation of the National Board for Wild Life).
- (b) Section 35(6): no one may destroy, exploit or remove wildlife or destroy its habitat in a National Park except under a permit.
- (c) Section 35(7): no grazing of livestock is permitted in a National Park.
- (d) Section 35(1): the State Government may declare an area a National Park for its ecological, faunal, floral or geomorphological importance.
Each narrower option leaves out one of these provisions.
