Lieutenant Governors

Lieutenant Governors are in charge of a Union Territory. He/she is given almost the same powers chief ministers have over their states. However the rank is given just to the 3 union territories of Delhi, Puducherry and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Lieutenant-governors hold the same rank as a governor of a state in the list of precedence.

However, Delhi and Puducherry have a measure of self-government with an elected legislature and cabinet- hence the role of the Lieutenant-Governor in those territories is more akin to that of a state governor.

The other 4 territories have an administrator appointed, who is an Indian Administrative Service officer.
