The trifurcation was to done by "tehsil", rather than village, and would further skew the process. two Commission members had proposed the exclusion of Kharar "tehsil" from Punjab, which, while unimplemented, had been the first sign that the adjacent Chandigarh was potentially not to go to Punjab state. Chandigarh had been the planned city built to replace Lahore, the capital of erstwhile Punjab and of the Sikh Empire, which became part of Pakistan during the partition, and was to be the capital of Punjab. Chandigarh was claimed by both Haryana and Punjab. Pending resolution of the dispute, it was declared as a separate Union Territory which would serve as the capital of both the states, while Haryana would ostensibly set up its own capital city. Though the Union Government had decided to give Chandigarh to Punjab as solely its capital in 1970, per a formal communication issued by the Union government on 29 January 1970, and Haryana was granted five years and a proposed budget of 200 million rupees to set up its own capital, this has not been implemented, though Chandigarh had been conceived to be the capital of a single state. However, the 1970 decision to be implemented in 1975 was made contingent on the transfer of territory in Fazilka to Haryana, to be made accessible through a corridor, and the process again stalled. The provisional understanding that employees would be posted in Chandigarh on a 60:40 ratio basis from Punjab and Haryana has been disregarded, with the number of Punjabi employees having declined significantly, as the Union territory has created its own cadre of government employees from outside the state. Punjabi continues to have no official status in Chandigarh despite the heavy Punjabi presence in the city, and the entire executive process of Chandigarh remains with the central government as a Union territory.
