Solution
- The means of transport visible on the map are waterways, railways and airways.
- The density of railways is higher in the Northern Plains region.
- Ports: Mumbai, Vishakhapatanam, Haldia, Chennai and Kandla.
Airports: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Kolkata. - The north and the north-east parts of India have a sparse network of transport. Due to mountainous and snow-covered areas in the north and the dense inaccessible forest areas of the north-east, the transportation network is sparse here. Also, these regions have low population and a lack of economic opportunities.
