Which of these came into existence on 1 November 1966, as recalled at the Chandigarh function?

  1. A.Chandigarh, Haryana and the Chandigarh Police
  2. B.Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and the Punjab Police
  3. C.Delhi, Haryana and the Delhi Police
  4. D.Chandigarh, Punjab and the Border Security Force

Correct answer

A. Chandigarh, Haryana and the Chandigarh Police

Explanation

The correct answer is Chandigarh, Haryana and the Chandigarh Police. Speaking at the ceremony, the Union Home Minister recalled that on this very day in 1966 the city of Chandigarh was established, the state of Haryana was formed and the Chandigarh Police came into being, and he added that the force received the President's Colour on the same date this year. The journey of sixty years from 1966 to 2026 has earned the city a name across the country for its town planning. Option B is wrong because Punjab existed long before and that grouping does not match the statement. Option C is wrong because Delhi and its police force have a different history altogether, though Haryana does belong to this date. Option D is wrong because Punjab was not created in 1966, and the Border Security Force has no connection with this anniversary.
