Each section was placed under a political officer. In 1919, the Central and Eastern Section was renamed the Sadiya Frontier T ...

States And Territories Of India
India is a federal union comprising 28 states and 8 union territories, with a total of 36 entities. The states and union territories are further subdivided into districts and smaller administrative divisions.
