Which territories in India do not enjoy the powers of a state? -SST 10th

1 Answer

Answer :

There are some units of the Indian Union which enjoy very little power. These areas are too small to become an independent state but which could not be merged with any of the existing states as well. The areas like Chandigarh, Lakshadweep or the capital city of Delhi are called Union Territories. These territories do not have the powers of a State. The Central Government has special powers in running these areas.
