Question

The Serlui B Dam is located in which state?
A) Manipur
B) Mizoram
C) Nagaland
D) Arunachal Pradesh

Answer 1

Hint: Serlui B Dam is made up of three units, each capable of producing 4 MW of electricity. An earthen dam is a name given to the Hydel Project's dam. The dam rises 51.3 metres above the riverbed, is 293 metres long, 8 metres broad at its peak, and 394.2 metres wide at its bottom.

Complete answer:
Serlui B dam, located 12 kilometres from Bilkhawthlir Village in the Kolasib region of Mizoram, is an earth fill and gravity dam on the Serlui river. The dam with the 12 MW hydroelectric power station was built between 2003 and 2009, although there were significant leaks that caused the Hydel Project to be delayed in commissioning.

The Buildium hamlet was inundated during the construction of the Serlui B dam, and they were relocated to Bawktlang village where they were repaired. Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Metallurgical Electrical Consultant India Ltd were responsible for the construction of the Serlui B Dam.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Serlui B Dam is also being developed as a pisciculture centre, with tens of thousands of fish being discharged into the reservoir in 2009. For the past five years, Mizoram's state government has received more than 45 lakhs in revenue. The Mizoram Tourism Department has established plans to construct tourist infrastructure because the land near the dam is densely forested, with a 53-kilometre picturesque lake in the midst.
