| Abstract: | Siliguri, the gateway to North-East India, is not only of vital importance to the state of West Bengal but to India as a whole. The city is popularly known as the chicken neck of north-east India because its corridor establishes a connection between the rest of India and the north-eastern states. It also connects hill stations such as Gangtok, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Kurseong and Mirik and the northeast states with the rest of India. Si1iguri town is bounded by international borders of Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. It is also linked with the traditional trade route of Sikkim, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. During the initial period of its growth, Si1iguri attracted migrants from its hinterlands like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Assam and with the passing of time Siliguri acquired a cosmopolitan character. This is an indicator of the rapid pace of urbanisation in Siliguri Urban Area. But Siliguri was a tiny village of less than 800 (784) populations in 1901. Siliguri received its recognition as a Municipal town with a population of 32,480 with the area of 15.54 sq. km in 1951 and it extended further to 41.90 sq. km in 1994 when it was upgraded to Siliguri Municipal Corporation. Meanwhile, Siliguri Municipality was established on 24th May, 1949 through a gazette notification under the Bengal Municipal Act of 1932. The purpose of this paper is to study the history of transformation of Siliguri town from Municipality to Municipal Corporation. The proposed study intends to find out the nature of political participation of various political parties to governing the Local-self Government in Siliguri Municipality. The present study is based on primary sources; mostly unpublished materials were consulted either in District Magistrate Office of Darjeeling, or Divisional Commissioner’s Office in Jalpaiguri, or in West Bengal State Archive in Calcutta. Besides primary sources, several books, Memories, local journals, magazines, souvenirs, newspapers, historical journals, unpublished Ph. D thesis has been used to enrich the study. |
