Answer : 3. "Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR)"
Explanation :

The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has recommended five-year anti-dumping duty on sodium cyanide (NaCN) imported from China, EU, Japan and Korea. The investigation conducted under the Customs Tariff Act and Rules cited depressed prices, decline in production and financial losses for the domestic industry. Production has been suspended despite capacity expansion due to economic non-viability. Sodium cyanide, used in a variety of applications including pesticides and metal extraction, appears as a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula NaCN.
