About us

The Municipal Council Palwal, situated in Haryana, has a rich history rooted in the cultural and administrative development of the region. Palwal itself is an ancient city, believed to derive its name from a demon named “Palwasur,” who is mentioned in local folklore from the Mahabharata period. The city gained prominence during the reign of the Pandavas and later under King Vikramaditya, evolving as a significant urban center. The Municipal Council was established as part of Haryana’s broader efforts to create structured urban governance and provide essential civic amenities to its residents. The council plays a critical role in managing the city’s infrastructure, sanitation, water supply, and urban planning. Over the years, it has been instrumental in promoting development projects, preserving the city’s historical landmarks such as the Gandhi Ashram, and organizing events like the “Baldev Chhat Ka Mela,” which commemorate its cultural heritage. Today, the Municipal Council Palwal continues to adapt to the challenges of urbanization, focusing on sustainable growth, public welfare, and improving the quality of life for its citizens. It represents the city’s transition from its historical legacy to a modern, thriving urban landscape.
