Consider the following statements :
It was alleged that the river became dead after its mouth was closed restricting its free flow in 1950. The entire river bed was converted into a dumping ground for garbage and solid and liquid waste. The National Green Tribunal has recently directed the State Government to revive the dead river by earmarking dedicated fund for the purpose.
Identify the river :

The Sukapaika river is a distributary of the Mahanadi river in Odisha. In 1950, the State Government closed its upper mouth at Ayatpur to prevent flooding in the Cuttack district. This restriction of free flow caused the 70-km long river to become "dead," and its bed subsequently turned into a dumping ground for garbage and waste.

In 2022, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) directed the Odisha government to rejuvenate the river. The NGT ordered the state to earmark a dedicated fund (approximately ₹49.67 crore) for its revival, which involves dredging and restoring the flow of water from the Mahanadi. Other options like the Musi (Telangana), Vamsadhara (Odisha/Andhra), and Ulhas (Maharashtra) do not match this specific historical context of a closed mouth in 1950 and recent NGT-led revival.
