Administration of the Union Territories (Article 239)

The Union Territories are administered by the President through an administrator, who is appointed by him with a suitable designation. This designation is called Lieutenant Governor or Chief Commissioner or Administrator. In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Puducherry and Delhi, administrator is called Lieutenant Governor, while in Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep he / she is known as Administrator. The President may appoint a Governor of an adjoining state as Administrator of a Union Territory. In such case the Governor works independently with regard to the administration of the Union Territory.
