One of the oldest civilizations in the world, India is a mosaic of multicultural experiences. With a rich heritage and myriad of attractions, the country is among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It covers an area of 32, 87,263 sq. km, extending from the snow-covered Himalayan heights to the tropical rain forests of the south. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity.

It definitely was one of the most beautiful lakes I had ever seen. It was a very wide spread lake and you could spot some local fishermen wandering with their boats. Since Meghalaya’s sky is always filled with clouds so there was no problem with sunlight constantly hunting you.

The most interesting part of the journey was that our taxi driver had all English songs on his playlist. It was the time of July’16. Euro 2016 was going on.

Municipalities

Delhi Set-up had recommended that a fresh law governing NDMC should be passed by the Parliament for proper organization and functioning of the New Delhi Municipal Council. Consequent upon enforcement of Constitution (Seventy Fourth Amendment) Act, several provisions in Punjab Municipal Act, 1911 had to be brought in tune with Part IXA of the Constitution before 31st May, 1994. Furthermore, there were several major differences between various functional regimes prescribed under the old law governing NDMC in comparison to the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act, 1957. It was generally recognized that there was need for a greater measure of commonality in the procedure adopted by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the New Delhi Municipal Council in matters relating to taxation, revenue, budgeting, contracts, accounts and audits, streets and sanitation, public health, public safety and suppression of nuisances etc.
