The Sundarbans is a mangrove area in the delta formed by the confluence of the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna Rivers in the Bay of Bengal. It spans from the Hooghly River in India's state of West Bengal to the Baleswar River in Bangladesh. It comprises closed and open mangrove forests, agriculturally used land, mudflats and barren land, and is intersected by multiple tidal streams and channels. Four protected areas in the Sundarbans are enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, viz. Sundarbans National Park, Sundarbans West, Sundarbans South and Sundarbans East Wildlife Sanctuaries.[3] Despite these protections, the Indian Sundarbans were considered endangered in a 2020 assessment under the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems framework.[4]
Explanation:
The Line of Actual Control (LAC) is a national demarcation line that separates Indian-controlled territory from Chinese-controlled territory in the Sino-Indian border dispute.
The term is said to have been used by Zhou Enlai in a 1959 letter to Jawaharlal Nehru.
India and Pakistan fought over Kashmir between 1947 and 1948.
The line originally marked the military front when the two countries declared a ceasefire on 1/2 January 1949.
The fronts gradually became a solid boundary. It was formally named the Line of Control after the Simla Agreement, which was signed on 3 July 1972.
