  3. Nepal

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Chandigarh  is a city and a union territory of India that serves as the capital of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana. 
  • As a union territory, the city is governed directly by the Union Government and is not part of either state.
  • After India got its independence in 1947, the country had to divide the then Punjab into East Punjab(Pakistan) and West Punjab(India). The capital of Punjab before the Independence was Lahore.
  • With the partition of India and Punjab, Lahore went to Pakistan.
  • So, the Government of India under the leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru carved out a new city Chandigarh consisting of nearly 50 Pwadhi speaking villages of the then state of East Punjab India. Chandigarh was designed to be a model city and is still is considered one of the best planned cities in the world.
  • In 1966, a new state Haryana was then formed from the eastern portion of Punjab. This was formed because the development of the then large portion of Punjab was getting difficult.
  • After that, both states locked horns with each other as both of them vied the ownership of the city. It was then decided by the Central Government to make Chandigarh a Union Territory for ten years till the states came at a decision. Both states did not want to give away Chandigarh, so it was made the capital of both Punjab and Haryana.
  • The ten years became more than forty years, and still Chandigarh is a UT and the capital of both the states. The conflict of interest has not been resolved and that is why Chandigarh is lucky to be a part of the Central Government as a Union Territory and Punjab and Haryana.
