3. Question
Q3. {IS – Issues} Consider the following statements with respect to The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA):
ULFA Peace Accord is a Bipartitepeace deal between The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the state government of Assam.
Operation Bajrang is associated with ULFA.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect
Brief history
The founders of ULFA wanted to establish a sovereign Assamese nation through an armed struggle against the Indian state.
For over 44 years, this ‘struggle’ has been chequered with kidnappings and extortion, executions and bomb blasts, leading to tragic loss of life in Assam and beyond.
The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) recently signed a historic tripartite peace deal with the Government of India and the state government of Assam.
Statement 2 is correct
Operation Bajrang was an operation by Union Government in 1990 that led to the arrest of 1,221 ULFA insurgents.
Aftermath of it, Assam was declared a ‘disturbed area’, President’s rule was imposed, and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) was invoked.

5. Question
Q5. {Sci – Bio – Diseases} Consider the following statements about Huntington’s Disease:
It is a rare, progressive genetic disorder that causes progressive breakdown of brain’s nerve cells.
Cure for Huntington’s Disease is available if diagnosed in Early 30s.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct
Huntington’s Disease is a rare, progressive genetic disorder that causes progressive breakdown of brain’s nerve cells.
It is caused by a mutation in the HTT gene which is involved in the production of a protein called huntingtin which provides instructions for making the protein.
Mutated genes providefaulty instructions leading to the production of abnormal huntingtin proteins and the formation of clumps.
These clumps disrupt the normal functioning of the brain cells, which eventually leads to the death of neurons in the brain, resulting in Huntington’s disease.
The symptoms often appear when a person is in their 30s or 40s.
It causes uncontrolled movements, impaired coordination of balance and movement, a decline in cognitive abilities, difficulty in concentrating and memory lapses, mood swings, and personality changes.
Statement 2 is correct
No cure exists, but drugs and physiotherapy can help manage some symptoms.
