History
The Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Council was formed on 12 June 1985 by incorporating five Gram Panchayats. Later, on 23 January 1990, four more village panchayats—Raigad-Murdhe, Dongri, Uttan, and Versova—were included. On 27 August 2022, after the five-year term of the elected municipal body concluded, the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation came under administrative rule. As of a result of a delay in conducting elections, due to legal challenges related to OBC reservation, Municipal Commissioner Dilip Dhole was appointed as the administrator The MBMC is currently run by an administrator appointed by the State Government of Maharashtra.
