Detailed Solution

One of the features of the Union Territories is that the Central government has special powers in running these areas.
These are too small to be independent countries and cannot be merged with other existing states due to their own culture, language, and geography and merging them would only create chaos and conflicts. Therefore the Union Territories are directly ruled by the central government and the central government holds all the legislative and executive powers to rule them. These Union Territories do not have the same status as that of a state.
