In a multi-ethnic district, a Government decision to allocate land for a waste management facility near a tribal hamlet sparked protests, with the tribal community calling the land sacred, while urban residents and industries supported the project over health concerns. As a Government official mediating this conflict, which of these statements would contribute to resolving it? 1. Acknowledging the tribal community’s cultural concerns before discussing technical alternatives. 2. Moving ahead with the project without delay, since urban health concerns outweigh a small group’s sentiments. 3. Creating a multi-stakeholder dialogue platform, including tribal leaders, environmental experts, and municipal representatives. 4. Conducting an independent, transparently shared Environmental and Social Impact Assessment.
