SELECTED WORKS OF GOVIND BALLABH PANT VOLUME 17,The seventeenth volume of the Selected Works of Govind Ballabh Pant covers nearly twenty-nine months of Pandit Pant's term as union Home Minister, from August 1956 to December 1958. During this period the work of reorganisation of States begun in 1955 was completed and the reorganised States and Union Territories were grouped into five zones to facilitate cooperation among them. Certain territories of Bihar were transferred to West Bengal not on linguistic but geographical consideration. A political solution to the Naga problem besetting the country - specially the State of Assam - for the previous two years was found. Legislation was enacted for slum clearance in Delhi and other Union Territories and the publication of books considered harmful to juveniles and adolescents was made a cognizable offence.
