+The '''Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966''' was passed by the [[Indian Parliament]] on 18 September 1966, separating territory from the state of [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], most of which formed the new state of [[Haryana]]. Some of the Punjab state territory was transferred to [[Himachal Pradesh]], then a [[Union territory]]; while [[Chandigarh]], the capital of Punjab, was made a temporary Union territory to serve as the provisional capital of both Punjab and Haryana. The larger state of Punjab had been formed under the [[States Reorganisation Act, 1956]] by merging [[East Punjab]] and [[PEPSU]]. The 1966 separation was the result of the [[Punjabi Suba movement]], which agitated for the creation of a [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]-speaking state (the modern state of Punjab); in the process a majority [[Hindi]]-speaking state was created (effectively, Haryana).<ref>{{cite web | url=http://indiankanoon.org/doc/933499/ | title=The Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 | publisher=Indian Kanoon | access-date=13 November 2015}}</ref><ref name="singh2015">{{cite book|author=Virendra Singh|title=INDIAN POLITY with Indian Constitution & Parliamentary Affairs: Special Focus on CSAT and Different State PSC Prelims & Mains, Graduate & Post Graduate Course (Public Administration & Political Science) Staff Selection Commission Examination (Metric & Graduate level and also helpful for different Law examination|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PEX5CQAAQBAJ&pg=PA509|access-date=13 November 2015|date=24 June 2015|publisher=Neelkanth Prakashan|isbn=978-81-925472-9-9|pages=509–}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://lawmin.nic.in/legislative/textofcentralacts/1966.pdf | title=1966 - Ministry of Law and Justice | publisher=Ministry of Law and Justice India | access-date=13 November 2015}}</ref>
