Take office as Mayor of Amritsar

Amritsar, India · 12 people · Heritage City

The Amritsar Municipal Corporation and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee manage Punjab's holiest city — the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) complex serves the world's largest free community kitchen (langar) feeding 100,000 devotees daily — coordinate the nightly Wagah Border flag lowering ceremony with BSF and Pakistan Rangers, and preserve the Jallianwala Bagh massacre memorial garden as a nationally significant heritage site.

The record Amritsar keeps on the Board of Mayors is still unwritten. Take office and write its opening chapter.

Take the Oath of Office

The city

Landmark: Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) & Jallianwala Bagh.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee operates the Harmandir Sahib langar — the world's largest free community kitchen — feeding 100,000 devotees daily in a continuous cycle run by volunteers and staff preparing, cooking, and serving rotis, dal, and rice 24 hours a day, with the Amritsar municipality managing traffic, parking, waste collection, and water supply for a complex receiving over 100,000 visitors every single day of the year.
Amritsar Municipal Corporation coordinates the nightly Wagah Border Beating Retreat ceremony — a precisely choreographed flag lowering ritual jointly performed by Indian BSF and Pakistani Rangers drawing 15,000 spectators per evening — requiring permanent grandstand infrastructure, CCTV security networks, coach parking for tourist buses from across Punjab, and year round intergovernment protocol maintenance with Pakistan for the ceremony to continue uninterrupted.

How a term works

Take office and each day brings a live situation from the city's services: a decision to make and a result that is measured. A term is judged on approval, infrastructure, environment and innovation, within the city's budget, and every term adds to the record Amritsar keeps on the Board of Mayors. Mayors message and confer with one another, form councils, trade with neighbouring cities and send aid where it is needed. Cities rise together.
