  4. NH-34-Sevak-Gangtok

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: NH-34-Sevak-Gangtok

Explanation: The pair NH-34 to Sevak–Gangtok is not correctly matched, as NH-34 runs from Barasat (Kolkata) to Siliguri, not Gangtok. (now as NH 12) 📚 Other Information: ▪️ NH-34 connects major towns like Krishnanagar, Berhampore, Malda, and Raiganj in West Bengal. ▪️ The highway is a key link between North and South Bengal. ▪️ NH-10, not NH-34, connects Siliguri to Gangtok (Sikkim). ▪️ NH-2 runs from Delhi to Kolkata, part of the historic Grand Trunk Road. ▪️ NH-35 connects Barasat to Bangaon, near the Bangladesh border. ▪️ NH-41 links Kolaghat to Haldia, serving industrial and port transport. ▪️ National Highways are maintained by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). ▪️ The network is part of the Golden Quadrilateral and East-West Corridor projects.
