Question

In which year the Gir national park was established?
A) 1970
B) 1979
C) 1965
D) 1982

Answer 1

Hint: This was the year when the first Indo-Pakistani battle took place between west Pakistan and India. Also this year, full-scale Indo-Pakistani war is battled about Kashmir, which closes after an UN Security Council requires a truce on 20 September. Hindi became the official language of India this year.

Complete answer:
The Gir Forests Reserve, made in 1913 to ensure the biggest of the enduring gatherings of Asiatic lions, was given safe-haven status in 1965. A few hundred Asiatic lions have been reared in the asylum since it was set up. As the protected area remains closed from June to October, the best time to visit Gir is in winter, from November to March. The summer months of April and May are very hot but ideal for wildlife photography and wildlife viewing. The Gir National park was established in 1965.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘C’.

Note:
-Gir National Park, public park in Gujarat state, west-focal India, situated around 37 miles south-southwest of Junagadh in a sloping district of dry scrubland. It has a zone of around 500 square miles.
-The Gir environment with its different vegetation is secured because of the endeavours of the public authority woods division, natural life activists and NGOs.
