Asansol Municipal Corporation (AMC) is the civic body that governs Asansol in Asansol Sadar subdivision of Paschim Bardhaman district, West Bengal, India.

History[]

Union Committees were set up in Asansol, Raniganj, Katwa and Kalna, according to a notification issued on 29 October 1850. These Union Committees carried out the functions of municipalities. Assensole (now Asansol) Municipality was set up on 1 July 1885, according to a notification dated 23 April 1885.[1] Initially, the municipality covered the Railway Colony, the English area, Budhdanga village, Bastin’s Bazar, Pucca Bazar, Munshi Bazar and Talpukur Chati areas. The first committee was formed with seven government officials as ex-officio members and twelve nominated members.[2]

Over the years, Asansol grew considerably with the growth coal mining, development of railways and growth of IISCO’s steel plant at Burnpur. Asansol municipal corporation was formed in 1994, with the addition of Burnpur Notified Area Authority, some rural parts of Asansol community development block and some colliery areas.[3]

According to the Kolkata Gazette notification of 3 June 2015, the municipal areas of Kulti, Raniganj and Jamuria were included within the jurisdiction of Asansol Municipal Corporation.[4] Now Asansol Municipal Corporation administers over an area of 326 km2 (126 sq mi).[5]
