Chandigarh
Delhi
Daman and Diu
Dadra and Nagar Haveli
This question was previously asked in
UPSC CDS-2 – 2018
The correct answer is Daman and Diu.
Among the given Union Territories, Daman and Diu (before its merger with Dadra and Nagar Haveli) had the shortest length of designated National Highways, often cited as having effectively zero kilometers of NH within its territory, relying on connectivity to nearby states via state roads. Chandigarh has a small network of NHs, Delhi has a significant network, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli also had some length of NH.
Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu were merged into a single Union Territory in 2020. However, the question likely pertains to the period before the merger, when they were separate UTs. Specific lengths can vary slightly based on reporting year and definition, but Daman and Diu consistently reported the shortest length among these options.
