STRUCTURE OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNANCE IN SMALLER CITIES AND TOWNS – NAGAR PALIKA / MUNICIPALITY/MUNICIPAL COUNCIL
December 25, 2020
Municipal Councils or Municipalities are set up for an urban area/centre with population of 100,000 or more, however there are exceptions to that as previously nagar palikas were constituted in urban centers with population over 20,000 so all the urban bodies which were previously classified as nagar palika were reclassified as nagar palika even if their population was under 100,000.
Members of the Nagar Palika are elected representatives for a period of five years. The town is further divided into Wards ( subdivision or district of a municipality/town) according to its population and representatives are elected from each ward. Wards may be grouped together into ward councils. One or more representatives are elected to represent each ward.
