Alipurduar Municipality

Alipurduar Municipality is the civic body that governs Alipurduar city in the Alipurduar subdivision of Alipurduar district, West Bengal, India. It was established on 7 February 1957 and functions as the city’s municipal authority. Its responsibilities are those generally associated with an urban local government in India, including the administration and civic management of the municipal area, although the available reference material does not provide a detailed department-by-department account of its services or infrastructure programs. The municipality covers approximately 8.98 square kilometres. According to the 2011 population figure cited in the reference material, its jurisdiction had 65,232 residents. The municipality is governed by a council of 20 directly elected members, or councillors. Councillors serve five-year terms, and the council is headed by a chairperson, supported by a vice chairperson. This structure places the institution within West Bengal’s system of elected municipal governance rather than within the commercial brand sector. The latest election identified in the available material took place on 12 February 2022. Prasenjit Kar of the Trinamool Congress is identified as the current chairperson, while Mampi Adhikary of the same party is identified as the vice chairperson. No official municipal website, corporate ownership structure, stock-market listing, commercial product portfolio, or international operating presence is identified in the supplied sources. The municipality’s relevance is therefore civic and administrative: it represents and manages the urban jurisdiction of Alipurduar rather than marketing consumer goods or services under a conventional commercial brand.

Alipurduar Municipality was established on 7 February 1957 to provide municipal governance for Alipurduar. The institution administers the urban area of Alipurduar city, which is situated in the Alipurduar subdivision of Alipurduar district in West Bengal, India. The available reference material does not describe the municipality’s formation in greater political or administrative detail, nor does it identify earlier local-government arrangements. The municipality’s jurisdiction covers about 8.98 square kilometres. A population of 65,232 is associated with the municipal area in the 2011 population data cited by the reference source. As an urban local body, it operates through an elected council rather than through a commercial ownership model. The council consists of 20 members or councillors, who are directly elected for five-year terms. The council is led by a chairperson, with a vice chairperson serving in a supporting leadership role. The most recent election mentioned in the supplied material occurred on 12 February 2022. Following that election, Prasenjit Kar of the Trinamool Congress is identified as chairperson and Mampi Adhikary of the Trinamool Congress as vice chairperson. No additional election results, party seat distribution, administrative reforms, major civic projects, controversies, or subsequent leadership changes are documented in the available source material. Accordingly, the municipality’s documented history is primarily institutional: its establishment in 1957, its continuing role as Alipurduar’s urban governing body, the structure of its elected council, and the leadership identified after the 2022 election.
