Detailed Solution

The given statement is False.
Local government bodies exist for rural as well as urban areas. Local government in rural areas is commonly referred to as panchayati raj. There is a gram panchayat for every village or group of villages in some States. After being brought together, the gram panchayats are known as a panchayat samiti, block, or mandal. The zilla (district) parishad is made up of each mandal or panchayat in a district. Similar organisations exist for local government in cities. Towns are where municipalities are built up. Municipal corporations are constituted in large cities. Municipal corporations and municipalities are both governed by elected bodies made up of citizens' representatives.
Thus, local government bodies do not exist for rural areas only.
