During a summer festival organized in Munsiyari market in 2013, a proposal for granting Munsiyari the status of Nagar Panchayat (lower level Municipality) was passed by the locals.[3] Gram Panchayats attached to the Munsiyari market had also given their consent for this.[3] On 28 February 2014, the Uttarakhand Cabinet decided to grant Nagar Panchayat status to the towns of Munsiyari, Chaukhutia and Naugaon.[4] Shortly afterwards, the then Chief Minister Harish Rawat made an announcement confirming this move while on a visit to the town.[5] The municipal area was to be created by incorporating 5 Gram Panchayats: Mallaghorpatta, Tallaghorpatta, Bunga, Sarmoli and Jainti.[5] An official notification was issued on 7 October 2014, but due to major opposition by the Gram Sabhas, the Nagar Panchayat could not come into existence.[6] In June 2015, several government officials visited the area and tried to initiate talks with local villagers.[7] After all the talks failed, the notification that allowed the formation of Nagar Panchayat was revoked on 22 August 2016.[5]
