💡 Analysis & Explanation
Administrative Framework ▼
Union Territories in India are directly governed by the Central Government, distinct from States which have their own legislative assemblies.
Legislative Authority ▼
Because UTs fall under central jurisdiction, the creation, modification, or dissolution of major civic bodies like Municipal Corporations within them requires central legislative action.
Conclusion ▼
Therefore, they are established strictly by an Act of Parliament.
