The proposal to enlarge Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation will bring 47 villages and 16 panchayats under its jurisdiction, increasing its area to 53 sq km and boosting the population to over 500,000.
The state government has drafted a proposal to extend the boundaries of Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation. The expansion would incorporate 47 villages and 16 panchayats from the surrounding district. This move is expected to raise the corporation’s area from 32 to 53 square kilometres and increase its resident count beyond half a million. Officials say the change will streamline administration and improve delivery of civic services across the newly added regions.
