What is in the CAG report about BMC in the Mumbai Civic Body Scam? Watch the video

New Delhi, the capital of India, was officially inaugurated in 1931 as the new seat of the British Raj, replacing Kolkata (Calcutta). Designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, it features grand colonial-era buildings like the Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate. Today, it serves as India’s political and cultural hub, blending historic landmarks with modern urban life.

The **Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)**, also known as the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM), is the governing civic body of Mumbai, India. Established in 1865, it is one of the oldest and largest municipal corporations in Asia, responsible for the city’s infrastructure, public health, and administration. The BMC operates from the iconic **BMC Headquarters**, a historic Gothic-style building designed by Frederick W. Stevens and completed in 1893, reflecting Mumbai’s colonial-era architecture.
