KDMC Faces Allegations Over Building Plan Approval and Illegal Hoardings Probe
The Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) faces scrutiny over two issues: Congress alleges that a building plan in Gandhari was approved based on a notarised, not registered, document, calling for an FIR and demolition of the structure. Separately, an inquiry found nearly 400 unauthorized hoardings across KDMC limits, revealing a revenue loss of 50-60 crore due to lack of competitive tendering since 2014. The civic body has initiated preliminary actions in response to these concerns.
