Which of the following Urban Local Government Bodies in India was discontinued after 1992?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is:(c) Notified Area Committee

Explanation:
The Notified Area Committee (NAC) was discontinued after the 73rd Constitutional Amendment in 1992, which brought about significant reforms in local governance. The amendment aimed to strengthen Panchayati Raj institutions in rural areas and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in urban areas. After 1992, the NAC was largely replaced with more structured forms of urban local governance, such as Municipal Committees, Municipal Corporations, and Nagar Panchayats. These bodies were introduced to better manage urban areas, ensuring more democratic participation and decentralized management.

• Municipal Committee/Council: This body manages small urban areas and is still functional in India. It is responsible for urban planning, waste management, and basic infrastructure.
• Municipal Corporation: A larger governing body for more developed urban areas, typically serving cities with a population of over a million. It handles city-wide governance issues.
• Nagar Panchayat: This body governs transitional urban areas, those that are in the process of becoming urban from rural. It still exists post-1992.
