Haryana forms two municipal bodies for Ambala

AMBALA: In Haryana Government’s recent cabinet meeting held on June 24, the proposal for the formation of two civic bodies for Ambala has been approved. The area under the Ambala City Municipal Corporation would have 12 adjoining villages excluding Sadar Zone. The Sadar Zone will come under the Ambala Sadar Municipal Council.

The villages under the jurisdiction of the freshly formed municipal corporation are Dangdehri, Manakpur, Lohgarh, Dadiana, Devi Nagar, Nijampur, Ghel Kalan, Ghel Khurd, Kanwala, Kanwali, Kalu Majra and Liharsa. The area of the Sadar Zone was excluded from the municipal corporation’s jurisdiction. This area would also come under the new municipal body.

Ambala’s previous municipal corporation, Ambala Municipal Corporation was dissolved in the February last year abruptly, promising the formation of the now-commissioned two municipal corporations.
