● India and Bangladesh both claimed the empty New Moore Island, which is about two miles long and 1.5 miles wide. ◦ Bangladesh referred to the island as South Talpatti. ◦ There were no permanent structures on New Moore, but India sent some paramilitary soldiers to its rocky shores in 1981 to hoist its national flag. The matter was resolved on 7 July 2014, when the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) delivered a verdict in the "Bay of Bengal maritimeboundary arbitration between Bangladesh and India" case. ◦ The PFA gave a verdict in favour of Bangladesh. Hence pair 1 is correctly matched. ● Katchatheevu is a long-standing disputed island between India and Sri Lanka. In 1974, ◦ Katchatheevu was ceded to Sri Lanka by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi through the Indo-Sri Lankan Maritime agreement to settle the maritime boundary in the Palk Strait. ◦ Though ceded to Sri Lanka, the agreement, which did not specify fishing rights, allowed Indian fishermen to fish around Katchatheevu and to dry their nets on the island. ◦ The issue is yet to be resolved by the two countries. Hence pair 3 is correctly matched. ● The Aminidivi Islands , are one of the three island subgroups in the Union Territory of Lakshadweep , India. ◦ It is the northern group of the Lakshadweep, separated from the Laccadive Islands subgroup roughly by the 11th parallel north. ◦ The total land area of the group is 9.26 km². Hence pair 2 is not correctly matched.
