Explanation:

The Oak forests of Uttarakhand were replaced by pine as it was of more commercial value to British. But pine needles have been blamed for several forest fires recently and hence the govt. is planning to reintroduce Oak.
The two rivers Ganga and Yamuna have been given the status of living entity by Uttarakhand high court.
