Second Five Year Plan of Delhi Union Territory

Abstract

Following the re-organisation of States and the abolition of Part “C” States, Delhi became a Union Territory with effect from 1st November, 1956. Before 1912, Delhi city was the headquarters of a Division which had been constituted after the annexation of Delhi by the British. The Division comprised the districts of Simla, Hissar, Rohtak, Delhi, Ambala, Karnal and Gurgaon. In 1912, however, a separate Delhi Province was constituted by dissolving the Delhi District and transferring Sonepat Tehsil to Rohtak District and parts of Ballabgarh Tehsil to the Gurgaon District.
