The Punjab Reorganisation Act, which created the States of Punjab and Haryana in 1966, was enacted on the basis of the recommendation of the

Dhar Commission

Dass Commission

Shah Commission

Mahajan Commission

Explanation:

- The Punjab Reorganisation Act of 1966 divided the old state of Punjab into Punjab and Haryana.

- The main reason was due to linguistic and cultural differences.

- The Shah Commission (Option 3) was set up in 1966 to recommend how the division should take place.

- The Dhar Commission (Option 1) was actually formed in 1948 to look into the reorganization of states on a linguistic basis all over India, not specifically Punjab and Haryana.

- The Dass Commission (Option 2) is not related to the formation of Haryana or Punjab.

- The Mahajan Commission (Option 4) was set up later to address the border disputes between Punjab and Haryana, especially regarding Chandigarh.
