Dehradun municipality

The Dehradun Municipal Corporation is the civic or urban local body that governs the city of Dehradun in Uttarakhand, India. It is essentially the city government and differs from the MDDA (Mussoorie Dehradun Development Board), which is a state run organisation.

Structure

This corporation consists of 100 wards and is headed by a mayor who presides over a deputy mayor and 99 other corporators representing the wards. The mayor is elected directly through a first-past-the-post voting system and the deputy mayor is elected by the corporators from among their numbers.

The Corporation is composed of elected officials like the mayor and corporator, administrative officials, like the Municipal Commissioner (also known as Chief Executive Officer) and technical officers who have expertise in various domains.

Prior to December 2003 this body was known as Dehradun Municipal Council and after revamping the municipality the Dehradun Municipal Corporation came into existence in 2003.Template:Citation needed
