Explanation
- CBSE map-skill questions are marked purely on correct location + correct label + correct symbol — one mark per feature.
- Baglihar Dam is the standard answer for Chenab; do not write Salal (also on Chenab, but Baglihar is more commonly expected).
- Tarapur is India's first and most prominent nuclear power plant and the only one in Maharashtra — must know this.
- Chennai hosts a major Software Technology Park; remember other STP cities: Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Noida.
- Amritsar is Punjab's international airport — do not confuse with Chandigarh (domestic/limited).
- Use the correct symbol as shown in the map legend; missing symbol = lost mark.
