Ths total rural area of the U.T/district is derived by deducting urban area from the geographical area. Hence, the total/rural areas of the tahsils uill not add up to the U.T/distrirt are3S. The uninhabited islands have not been shoun in the table. Hou8ver, the areas of these islands have been included in the rural areas of attached tahsils. -:3:-
