dated November 30, 1957: Delhi Corporation Bill

The Lok Sabha on November 28 passed the Delhi Municipal Corporation Bill that provides for the setting up of a Municipal Corporation for Delhi, excluding an area of 15 square miles of New Delhi, where Rashtrapathi Bhavan the Central Secretariat and other Government buildings are situated. The Corporation will be more or less on the lines of the Bombay Corporation. The Bill is unique in one respect in that the Corporation will have jurisdiction not only over the urban areas of Delhi but also over rural areas around the capital.
