9. Henry Charles Keith-Petty Fitzmaurice was a Governor General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Secretary of State of War and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who had the distinction of serving under both Labour and Conservative governments. He is remembered in India for lending his name in 1887 to what remains one of the better maintained hill stations in India. Known as Kaudanda (Blackhill) in the local language, this hill station is the regimental headquarters and training centre of the Garhwal Rifles. The fact that most of this hill station is still made up of the cantonment area with British era Army quarters and offices dotting the streets and corners and the fact that the Army is responsible for decisions pertaining to local town planning apparently accounts for this place's cleanliness and unspoilt nature.
Name this hill station.

9. Henry Charles Keith-Petty Fitzmaurice was a Governor General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Secretary of State of War and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs who had the distinction of serving under both Labour and Conservative governments. He is remembered in India for lending his name in 1887 to what remains one of the better maintained hill stations in India. Known as Kaudanda (Blackhill) in the local language, this hill station is the regimental headquarters and training centre of the Garhwal Rifles. The fact that most of this hill station is still made up of the cantonment area with British era Army quarters and offices dotting the streets and corners and the fact that the Army is responsible for decisions pertaining to local town planning apparently accounts for this place's cleanliness and unspoilt nature.
Name this hill station.
