Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Regions directly governed by the Union due to strategic, cultural, or administrative reasons. Examples include Delhi, Puducherry, Chandigarh, and the newly formed Jammu & Kashmir (UT). The President administers UTs through an appointed Administrator or Lieutenant Governor. Some UTs have legislative assemblies and councils of ministers (Delhi, Puducherry, J&K), while others do not. Legislative powers can be narrower, with the Centre retaining major control over policing and other matters. Article 239 outlines the arrangement, allowing flexible governance that suits diverse local contexts. However, UT residents often demand statehood for greater autonomy, as witnessed in Delhi’s frequent center-state tussles.
