GS PrelimsGeography (Indian physical environment)India - Location2001

The above map is the Union Territory of

A

Chandigarh

B

Daman and Diu

C

Dadra and Nagar Haveli

D

Pondicherry

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

1. The question requires identifying a Union Territory based on a provided map (which is missing but assumed). 2. Based on common UPSC questions featuring maps of Union Territories, the map likely depicts the fragmented territories of either Daman & Diu or Dadra & Nagar Haveli, or Pondicherry (Puducherry) which also has non-contiguous parts (Puducherry, Karaikal, Yanam, Mahe). Chandigarh is a single compact city. 3. Assuming the map showed the distinct geographical locations of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, which are close but separate enclaves within Gujarat and Maharashtra respectively (at that time, they were separate UTs before merging with Daman and Diu in 2020), option (C) would be correct.
