Explanation:

An aspiration of regional autonomy of the people is not be a reason for creation of Union Territories in India. Regional autonomy demands lead to creation of states not UTs.
In this aspect, autonomy of state is more as compared to Union Territory because in case of Union Territories, Union has more control as administrator is agent of the President.
The union territories have been created for a variety of reasons. These are mentioned below:
1. Political and administrative consideration—Delhi and Chandigarh.
2. Cultural distinctiveness—Puducherry, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Daman and Diu.
3. Strategic importance—Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep.
4. Special treatment and care of the backward and tribal people—Mizoram, Manipur, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh which later became states.
