The correct answer is: A. September, 1966<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Punjab Reorganisation Act was passed by the Parliament of India on 18 September 1966. The Act divided the state of Punjab into two new states, Punjab and Haryana. The Act also created the Union Territory of Chandigarh, which was to be shared by the two new states.<\/p>\n

The Act was passed in response to the demands of the Punjabi Suba movement, which had been demanding a separate state for the Punjabi-speaking people of India. The Act was also seen as a way to address the growing communal tensions in Punjab.<\/p>\n

The Act was met with mixed reactions. Some people welcomed it as a way to address the grievances of the Punjabi people. Others opposed it, arguing that it would lead to further division and instability in the region.<\/p>\n

The Act has had a significant impact on the history of Punjab. It has led to the creation of two new states, and it has also had a major impact on the political and social landscape of the region.<\/p>\n
