The Union has the authority to instruct the state as it may be essential to the “government in the exercise of its jurisdiction over the states that need assistance from the federal government a collection of executive authority While the executive authority of the state must be used in such a way that it does not interfere with the executive power of the union, both the state and the union may require the state to maintain and develop communications infrastructure that is of national or military significance in order to avoid conflict with the executive power of the union. Administration is split between the Union and the States, with the Union having more jurisdiction since it has the ability to deal with matters connected to water in any Inter-state River for which Parliament has provided for adjudication under the Constitution.
