02:03About 3.1 million voters will form the government of the cities.

02:07Out of which, about 16 lakh male voters and about 15 lakh female voters.

02:13And out of all these, if we talk about Dehradun Municipality, which is the biggest municipality with 60 wards.

02:20And the seat of Dehradun Municipality is very important.

02:24Here, about 7.5 lakh voters will vote for the Dehradun Mayor and the 100 MPs here.

02:32How did the Dehradun Municipal Corporation start? How was it established?

02:39To talk about this, today we have with us Lokesh Ohri, who is a historian.

02:45He has a good hold on all the heritage of Uttarakhand.

02:49Let's talk to Lokesh Ohri.

02:52Lokesh, first of all, I would like to welcome you to ETV.

02:56And if we talk about Dehradun Municipality, this building in front of us.

03:03I would like you to show the building.

03:05As it is written on this building as of 1937.

03:09We can say that this is an old building.

03:12Let's talk to Lokesh Ohri about this building first.

03:15Lokesh ji, the place where we are standing right now, Dehradun Municipality, what is its history?

03:22Look, Dehradun Municipality is a very historical place.

03:28In 1883, the district board was established here in Dehradun.

03:33We are talking about the British period.

03:35We are talking about the British period.

03:37Then a district board was formed here.

03:39Was the district board separate from the municipality?

03:42Yes, the district board was formed.

03:46So this is a complete progression of how it moved forward.

03:52First, the district board remained.

03:54And then in 1901, the municipal council was formed.

03:57So that district board grew a little.

03:59The city grew a little.

04:01So a municipal council was formed.

04:03And after that, gradually, we see that the municipality was formed.

04:09And when Uttarakhand was formed, it became a municipality.

04:14Sir, if we go back to the old days, as you said, in the 18th century, the district board was formed first.

04:21After that, the municipality was established here.

04:25So what kind of process did it go through at that time?

04:29Look, Dehradun was a very small city at that time.

04:32It was not as it is today.

04:35And there was a British rule at that time.

04:38So there were some areas here, like Dalanwala and Rajpur.

04:43So there were a lot of Britishers living here.

04:47And there was a parade ground.

04:51And the place around it...

04:53As I told you, around 1890, when the Afghan kings came here...
