Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) 2, 3 and 4
Exercise ‘Mitra Shakti-2023’ was the 9th India–Sri Lanka (not Bangladesh) joint military drill that began on 16 November 2023 at Aundh Military Station, Pune; hence statement 2 is correct and statement 1 incorrect. Its stated aim was to rehearse joint responses in counter-terrorism/sub-conventional operations, so statement 3 is correct. For the first time, personnel of the Indian Air Force (and Sri Lankan Air Force) also took part, making statement 4 correct. Therefore statements 2, 3 and 4 only are correct (option d).
