Detailed explanation-1: -Union Territories are administrated by the President acting to such extent, as he thinks fit, through an Administrator appointed by him. Administrators of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Delhi and Puducherry are designated as Lieutenant Governors. The Governor of Punjab is concurrently the Administrator of Chandigarh.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Union Territories are those areas which are under the direct control and administration of the Central Government, unlike the states, which share distribution of power with the Centre. Therefore, the Union Territories are also known as ‘centrally administered territories’.
