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 Indian government, replacing Kolkata (Calcutta). Designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker, it features grand colonial-era buildings, such as the Rashtrapati Bhavan and India Gate, blending Western and Indian architectural styles. Today, it serves as the political and cultural heart of India, home to government institutions, historic landmarks, and vibrant traditions.

The **Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)**, established in 1865, is the governing civic body of Mumbai, India. It is one of the largest municipal corporations in the country, responsible for the city’s infrastructure, public health, and administration. The BMC operates from the iconic **Municipal Corporation Building**, a historic Gothic-style structure completed in 1893, reflecting Mumbai’s colonial-era architecture.
