The correct answer is Option C: Andhra Pradesh. The Andhra Pradesh Government constituted a Special Environment Protection Task Force in 2026 to prevent pollution in the Godavari River ahead of Godavari Pushkaralu. The task force was formed after directions from Deputy Chief Minister and Environment & Forests Minister Pawan Kalyan following a review meeting at Rajamahendravaram. The main objective is to identify pollution sources and stop discharge of untreated sewage and industrial waste into the Godavari River. The task force is headed by the Principal Secretary, Environment and Forests Department, while APPCB Member Secretary acts as Convenor. It includes senior officials and district collectors from Godavari basin districts for coordination, monitoring, and field inspections. On 26 May 2026, the Andhra Pradesh Government sanctioned ₹100 crore through APPCB for immediate river pollution control measures. The initiative also includes a one-year ban on single-use plastic in six Godavari basin districts to ensure clean river water during Pushkaralu.
