  1. Punjab


  2. The capital of two states - Punjab and Haryana operate in Chandigarh.

    Chandigarh as a city does not belong to either of the states.  It is a Union Territory and has its own administration with an Adminitrator;  Genl S.F. Rodriues is the current administrator.

    In March, 1948, the Government of Punjab, in consultation with the Government of India, approved the area of the foothills of the Shivaliks as the site for the new capital. The location of the city site was a part of the erstwhile Ambala district as per the 1892-93 gazetteer of District Ambala. The foundation stone of the city was laid in 1952. Subsequently, at the time of reorganization of the state on 01.11.1966 into Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pardesh, the city assumed the unique distinction of being the capital city of both, Punjab and Haryana while it itself was declared as a Union Territory and under the direct control of the Central Government.
