  • ORIGIN AND FUNCTIONS OF Srinagar Municipal Corporation: The Srinagar Municipality has been established in the year 1886 pursuant to the J&K Municipal Act No: 16 of 1886. At that time its area was 8 Sq. Miles and its population was 18060. The city of Srinagar (Municipal limits) has registered a considerable growth and expansion in its limits during 122 years of its existence. In the year 1971 Srinagar city municipal limits comprised of 103 Sq. Kms and in the year 1981 the area was 210 Sq. Kms. Consequent to further expansion in the year 2003, the limits of Srinagar Municipal Corporation are now spread over an area 279 Sq. Kms. The uninterrupted and accelerated growth of population of Srinagar City from 4.23 lacs in the year 1971 to approximately 12.00 lacs in the year 2008 excluding the floating population has exerted tremendous pressure on the city in terms of basic amenities and infrastructural facilities including Solid Waste Management Services. The stupendous expansion of city limits has also resulted in mushroom growth of urban habitats, new colonies and degradation of environmental standards. However, consequent upon the devolution of powers in terms of 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, the Srinagar Municipality has been now up-graded into the Srinagar Municipal Corporation on 18th February, 2003 in terms of Government Notification S.R.O. 46 issued under the provisions of Jammu and Kashmir Municipal Corporation Act, 2000. The numbers of Municipal Administrative Wards have been increased from 23 to 34 for efficient and proper municipal administration. Similarly the Electoral Wards now consists of 68 Municipal Constituencies/ Electoral Wards as against 33 that existed prior to its up gradation.
