Atul Garg’s long political career is rooted in extensive urban civic engineering, industrial management, and commercial planning within the high-density National Capital Region. Born on 2 January 1964 in Ghaziabad, he was raised in a family deeply committed to city development; his father, the late Dinesh Chandra Garg, was the historic first Mayor of Ghaziabad. Atul pursued higher studies in commerce and law from regional university systems and established a formidable career heading manufacturing and corporate enterprise conglomerates. He made his assembly debut in 2017, riding a historic mandate, and was immediately inducted into the state cabinet, handling critical portfolios including Medical Education, Food Safety, and Trade. Chosen to contest the high-profile Ghaziabad parliamentary seat in 2024, his deep industrial networks and urban organizational machinery led to a landslide victory. In the Lok Sabha, his focus centers on fast-tracking multi-lane elevated corridors, overhauling municipal stormwater pumping blocks, and simplifying filing codes for small enterprises.
