Which of the following Ramsar Wetland sites is not situated in any of the Union Territories of India?

Based on the provided records, Point Calimere Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary is located in the state of Tamil Nadu. Unlike the other options, Tamil Nadu is a State, not a Union Territory. Hokera Wetland and Wular Lake are both situated in the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir [3]. Tsomoriri (Tso Moriri) Lake is located in the Union Territory of Ladakh [3]. While older records might list these sites under the former state of Jammu & Kashmir, current administrative divisions classify Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh as separate Union Territories [3]. Point Calimere was designated as a Ramsar site on August 19, 2002, and remains one of the prominent wetland sites in southern India. Therefore, Point Calimere is the only site among the choices not situated in a Union Territory.
