The Doddaballapur City Municipal Council (DCMC) is the administrative body responsible for the civic and infrastructural assets of the Doddaballapura City area of India.[1]
Doddaballapur City Municipal Council is run by a city council. The city council is composed of elected representatives, called "Councillors", including one from each of the wards (localities) of the city. Elections are held once every five years. First elections to the newly created body were held in 2013.
The town of Doddaballapura had been in existence prior to the 12th century and was named on behalf of a messenger traveling during the 10th century called "Dodda-Balla." It is older than the Bengaluru (Bangalore) city which has now overgrown engulfing many of its neighboring villages and towns. The history of municipal governance of Doddaballapura dates back to July 30, 1917, when nine leading citizens of the city formed a Municipal Board under the Improvement of Towns Act. The following year, the concept of elected representatives came into being and also saw the introduction of property tax.
Fresh elections were held in June 2013.
