Concept: Two western coastal UTs were merged by the Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (Merger of Union Territories) Act, 2019.
- The merger came into effect on 26 January 2020; the new UT has its headquarters at Daman.
- This reduced the number of UTs from 9 to 8.
- Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh were not merged – they were created as two separate UTs in 2019.
Yaad rakhein: 2019 = J&K split into two UTs; 2020 = DNH + DD joined into one UT.
Answer: (A) Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu
अवधारणा: पश्चिमी तट के दो केंद्र शासित प्रदेशों को Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu (Merger of UTs) Act, 2019 द्वारा मिलाया गया।
- यह विलय 26 जनवरी 2020 से लागू हुआ; नए UT का मुख्यालय दमन है।
- इससे UT की संख्या 9 से घटकर 8 हो गई।
- जम्मू-कश्मीर और लद्दाख का विलय नहीं हुआ – 2019 में ये दो अलग UT बने।
याद रखें: 2019 = J&K दो UT में बँटा; 2020 = DNH + DD मिलकर एक UT बने।
उत्तर: (A) Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu
