Draft Annual Plan 1989-90 Volume I Union Territory of Chandigarh

Abstract

Chandigarh is a small Union Territory without legislature, and is spread over an area of 114 Sq. Kms., comprising the city of Chandigarh, Manimajra, Notified area Committee and 22 Villages. The present population of this Union Territory is about 6 lacs and is likely to be up to 7.50 lacs by 1990. The small rural belt is gradually diminishing further with the acquisition of more land for the expansion of the city. Since Chandigarh was never conceived as an Industrial Town, no major industry could be set up here.
