Bally Municipality (Bengali: চালি পৌরসভা transliterarily: Bãli Pôuroshôbha), established in 1883, is the body responsible for the civic infrastructure and administration of the northern suburbs of the city of Howrah. Headquartered in the town of Bally, it administers an area of 11.81 square kilometres (4.56 sq mi) that includes Bally, Liluah, Belur, and other nearby areas.[1]
The Vivekananda Setu (Bali Bridge) and Nivedita Setu connect Bally to Barrackpore and Kolkata on the other side of the river Hooghly.
Demographics
As of 2001, the municipality had a total population of 2,61,575, a rise of 41.43% since the 1991 census. Females constitute 42.72% of the population. The current sex ratio of the municipality is 744 females per 1000 males, which may be due to the large number of migrant labours who inhabit the municipality to work in the industries in Bally and nearby areas of Liluah and Belur. The overall literacy in the area stands at 81.91% as of 2001 (rising from 75.31% in 1991), of which male literacy is 85.17%(rising from 79.25%in 1991) and female literacy is 77.43% (rising from 69.21% in 1991).
