In 1858, after the Mutiny, they were transferred to the
Panjab. Since then, many administrative changes have occurred. The
latest took place on October 1, 1912, on the occasion of Delhi
becoming the official capital of India, instead of Calcutta. The city
of Delhi with a small surrounding area, 557 square miles in all, now

Ambala (Umballa), Gurgaon, and Simla, now constitute the
Commissioner's Division of Ambala in the Panjab.
