In which year was the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) set up to develop and regulate the state's port sector?
A1960
B1975
C1981
D1982
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 1982
1. The port development section dates the creation of GMB.
2. The Gujarat Maritime Board was set up in 1982 under the Gujarat Maritime Board Act, 1981.
3. 1981 is the year of the Act itself, not the year the Board was set up, so it is a near-trap.
4. Therefore GMB was set up in 1982.
