Who holds the office of Administrator of the Union Territory of Chandigarh, as seen at this function?
- A.The Governor of Haryana
- B.The Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court
- C.The Governor of Punjab
- D.The Union Home Secretary
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Governor of Punjab. Gulab Chand Kataria, who is the Governor of Punjab, was described as the Administrator of Chandigarh and was present when the projects were inaugurated and their foundation stones laid. This arrangement, under which the Governor of Punjab also serves as the Administrator of the Union Territory, is a favourite question in examinations on polity and on current affairs. Option A is wrong because the Governor of Haryana does not hold charge of Chandigarh even though the city serves as the capital of both states. Option B is wrong because a High Court judge holds no executive charge of a Union Territory. Option D is wrong because the Union Home Secretary is a civil servant in the ministry and not the constitutional head of the territory. Remember the name along with the office for the examination.
