Good Morning,

We are posting Today’s Must Read News Articles below.

 

About Must Read News Articles For UPSC : Must Read News Articles is an initiative by Team ForumIAS to provide links to the most important news articles of the day. It covers several newspapers such as The Hindu, Indian Express, Livemint etc.

This saves the time and effort of students in identifying useful and important articles. With newspaper websites requiring a paid subscription beyond a certain number of fixed articles, we believe that it is one of the best ways to cover all major newspapers in the shortest amount of time.

You are confusing in two things
1. Present Mangrove Cover (in area terms)
2. INCREASE in Mangrove area (in comparison to 2017). Both are different things.

If we are talking about Present mangrove cover then its WB> Guj> Andaman…..
If we are talking about increase in mangrove cover (in comparison to 2017) then it is Guj> Maharashtra>Odisha…
Hope it helps.
